Always Coming Home by Ursula K. Le Guin
Always Coming Home by Ursula K. Le Guin. 1985 Harper & Row, first edition, 523 pages. Le Guin was an acclaimed American author of science fiction, fantasy, poetry, and essays. According to her obituary in the New York Times: "Ms. Le Guin embraced the standard themes of her chosen genres: sorcery and dragons, spaceships and planetary conflict. But even when her protagonists are male, they avoid the macho posturing of so many science fiction and fantasy heroes. The conflicts they face are typically rooted in a clash of cultures and resolved more by conciliation and self-sacrifice than by swordplay or space battles." Always Coming Home is an ethnography of the Kesh people, and this edition includes a cassette with compositions by Todd Barton and three performances of Kesh poetry.
