## Description

The Lathe of Heaven : Le Guin, Ursula K.: desertcart.in: Books

Review: Simple, short, yet profound - My second Ursua K Le Guin book ever. And it left me with an even better impression than what I came in with. Such a simple concept! You don't have to love sci-fi to love Le Guin's work. You can also not like sci-fi and yet like Le Guin's work, and start liking sci-fi as a bonus. Things get set up real fast. Just imagine if you could effectively dream and create a different reality. And when someone discovers this, they try to take advantage of your ability even though you don't want to have it anymore. If you want to start the book, I'm guessing you would not realize until a few seconds later that you are right there in the middle of the story. From then on, you are simply to hold on to the railings so that you don't fall from the thrilling ride. I'm drowning in shame, wanting someone to dream-create a better reality, having confessed to this being my second Le Guin, for neither one nor me should remedy this state as soon as one/I can.
Review: Quintessential LeGuin - Hadn't expected the book to be this good! My favourite LeGuin work has to be "The Left Hand of Darkness" but this one easily takes the second spot. Such constrained, effective storytelling!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Consciousness altering

The lady spins a fabulous yarn, the plot and story is only the facade for some mind altering concepts, reality, dreams, time, love can be rethought. Compelling.
