Status Updates From Denizyolu

This last chapter was so full of emotion and stress and tension, but in that wordless way that can only be found in one’s thoughts. It was the type of story where everyone is acting normal on the outside, but inside, and in their secret glances and interactions, deep tension and instability is found.

Really liking it. Le Guin’s style is fluid and abrupt, clear and rambling, a perfect balance of opposites at just the right moment. It really helps you get into the minds of these characters, even for the short while that you know them. And the setting, a sleepy coastal North Pacific town, is simply wonderful.

This is really heavy into the matters of women. I need a break.

Think I need a break. Not sure if I'm going to be able to finish if I break though. It's just a little bit rambly and self-indulgent though.

I'm not so sure about this long last chapter.

I think quite possibly there are very few, if any, fantastical elements to this collection of shorts.

Still waiting to see if it becomes more "fantasy"
