The Dispossessed, by Ursula LeGuin

Details

This month's meeting (July) will be on The Dispossessed, by Ursula LeGuin. I know very little about this book except that it's about a scifi world where faster-than-light communication between planets, and it was supposedly inspired in part by the author's feelings on the Vietnam war. The tittle is an intentional inversion of 'The Possessed' by Dostoevsky, which is quite the legacy to live up to (nobody inverts my boy Dostoevsky; this had better be good).

LOCATION NOTE:
Based on group feedback (and Cafe June's unfortunate habit of kicking us out at 8:00), this meeting is scheduled to take place at Micky's Soju House (8450 Baltimore National Pike unit 125, Ellicott City, MD 21043). This may also solve table space issues if that comes up again.
