Le Guin's obituary in the papers, and this book is one of many reasons why. This is some of the best prose that I've read recently. She writes like Batman fights: no jazzy wire-fu whirl and leap, no showy moulinette pirouette lunar gravity twirl--just the right phrase in the right place at exactly the right time. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/88573?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
