‘she had tried for years to explain to them that if all you had was mud, then if you were God you made it into human beings, and if you were human you tried to make it into houses where human beings could live.’
Every little thing Le Guin wrote is a gem gifted to humanity. I hadn’t read this one yet, it’s incredibly good. Thanks for sharing it.
Yes. Gem after gem
I thought I’d share with you another le guin story I had previously shared only to see you were in that comment section too!
(Although that’s her most famous story ever)
I hadn’t read any of her short stories before. She is one of those authors that, no disrespect, farted pure gold.
Well that’s one way to put it hahaha
She has an unparalleled use of tone and pacing, grounded but fiercely intelligent. Every time I read something of hers I’m compelled to read more!
I suppose I’ll post more of her work then! People seem to really like her.
