This was a short, timely read, a novel of ideas that had as much in common with late 19th and early 20th-century literature as it did with science fiction.

As a novel, The Eye of the Heron isn't as nuanced as Le Guin's best SF fiction; it's a bit self-consciously political in a way that reminded me of The Word for World Is Forest, and some of the characters felt like platforms for philosophical musings that would be better explored in an essay or short story.

But I still found it memorable and compelling. Le Guin plays with the setting of a young colony world struggling to define its own political process. The text poses urgent questions about our political and moral obligations to one another, giving tentative answers through images and story.

A worthwhile book for the end of 2016. (

The late Ursula K. Le Guin out to be a Nobel nominee in my opinion. I've never read a book of hers that didn't speak to me of profound and important things. In this novel, she imagines a confrontation between violence and nonviolence and she is realistic about the outcome but as the story proceeds, so do her explorations of what those terms mean and how they might apply to human behavior and relationships.

The people of the City arrived on the planet Victoria by one-way spaceship, exiled from Earth, convicted criminals. Many years later the People of the Peace arrive in the last such spaceship, also exiled, but by choice. They form a town and call it Shantih, but the people of the City call it Shanty - deftly contrasting the views of the City folk and the townfolk. Over time the People of the Peace have become the peasants of a feudal society in microcosm but now confrontation is coming. The People of the Peace apply their principles of nonviolent non-co-operation. Where will the confrontation lead the colonists of Victoria to?

All the best elements of this book were inconsequential. The main characters and conflicts felt flat, and the writing too on-the-nose. It's not a bad book, but I didn't think it was a good one, either. (
