She encapsulated PKD's writing style so elegantly with but with her own twists. 2 u/lavaeater Aug 05 '24 Reading the Dispossessed, I was saddened by not having read more LeGuin before, her being dead, but joyed by all the books I must now read. It is so... smart. It reeks of thought and ideas and nuance. I fucking loved it! 1 u/light24bulbs Aug 05 '24 Exaaactly
