A Masterpiece

 



The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin is as flawless a novel as they come, and has been correctly heralded as her masterpiece.  Le Guin is not fixated on the gadgets of science fiction - but uses the genre to explore what it is the be a human being – and the social structures we create to exist.  This novel also features Shevek, a theoretical physicists who is one of the most fully realized characters in fiction.  He is the perfect embodiment to explore Le Guin’s world.  This novel was a privilege to read.
