Suddenly it's Fall, temperatures at night are dipping into the 40's.
I am struggling with Le guin's Always Coming Home. I knew the book was sort of a concept/experiment; an anthropological textbook for a civilization that did not yet exist. I was younger and more willing to accept the idea, but now it's..I don't know. It didn't work when I first read it; now I wonder why she didn't create the narrative by making a collection of short stories on the subject. She wrote many anthologies of short stories; she could have made the volume as a whole concept.
