April Spec Fiction Book Club: Left Hand of Darkness
Details
The April Speculative Fiction book club will be reading The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula Le Guin!
The group will meet at the table in the back of the store.
About the book:
A groundbreaking work of science fiction, The Left Hand of Darkness tells the story of a lone human emissary to Winter, an alien world whose inhabitants spend most of their time without a gender. His goal is to facilitate Winter's inclusion in a growing intergalactic civilization. But to do so he must bridge the gulf between his own views and those of the completely dissimilar culture that he encounters.
Embracing the aspects of psychology, society, and human emotion on an alien world, The Left Hand of Darkness stands as a landmark achievement in the annals of intellectual science fiction.
