"So far I’m enthralled. Her intro alone had me absolutely pulled-in. Have wanted to read this for many years, glad it’s finally on the chopping block. And cool to return to the same universe as other books from Le Guin. I’m not one to absorb a writer’s oeuvre - has never seemed to be my style - but I keep coming back to Le Guin; she is such a mature, biblical writer. “To read fiction is to become insane”." — May 19, 2026 07:01AM

“A star shoots bleeding across the skyline, a companion to the black wind. Silence comes sweeping across everything.”

“The self is only a threshold, a door, a becoming between two multiplicities”

“A book has neither object nor subject; it is made of variously formed matters, and very different dates and speeds.”

“In the long run a medium's content matters less than the medium itself in influencing how we think and act. As our window onto the world, and onto ourselves, a popular medium molds what we see and how we see it-and eventually, if we use it enough, it changes who we are, as individuals and as a society.”

“To become imperceptible oneself, to have dismantled love in order to become capable of loving. To have dismantled one's self in order finally to be alone and meet the true double at the other end of the line. A clandestine passenger on a motionless voyage. To become like everybody else; but this, precisely, is a becoming only for one who knows how to be nobody, to no longer be anybody. To paint oneself gray on gray.”
