My mother suggested this book to me after I moved to Portland, as it is written by a Portlander (Ursula K LeGuin) and takes place in Portland. It is a fairly short and fast read, but is sci-fi at its best. Not to give too much away, the premise is classic Sci-Fi, our protagonist has dreams that change reality when he wakes up, the story gets interesting when he starts to see a Psychologist who starts to guide his dreams...
Le Guin is a Bay Area transplant to Portland, but she is a quintessential Portlander, having lived in the city since 1958. It's entertaining to see some of her visions from Lathe finally coming to life in Portland.
