Yet another lovely story from Ms. UKL, that reminds us her dad was an anthropologist.
It's about a peaceful people who are conquered and occupied by a patriarchal people who have banned books and literacy, thinking them the work of demons. It about goes how you'd expect, but takes an interesting way to get there. I dunno. Like Vonnegut, I love Le Guin SO MUCH and how she THINKS about things, that every story she writes is magic to me. I just agree with her personal philosophy so thoroughly, you know? It's another perfect little story.
I'm not sure if it's science fiction though, I mean it could be on another planet, you know? It probably is. Unless it's the Pacific coast again, I didn't study the map too hard.
This is the first UKL I've read since we lost her. I miss her, you guys. I miss knowing she was out there.
