Since I happen to admire Ursula K. LeGuin, I respectfully disagree. However, I'm always interested to hear why someone chooses to have a rather emphatic opinion which is antipodal to my own.
Which brings me to your emphatic opinion, my friend.
Four-word evaluations tend to be useless unless one has a mastery of the Zen Koan and is actually able to explain in very few words
why one thinks a given writer is "terrible."
I've noticed your posts tend to be terse and pointed; often, you really
can explain yourself completely in very few words.
Here's the question:
Can you elaborate (without being elaborate) as to exactly why you feel the way you do about U.K.L.?
Does that sound like a challenge, Jon? It might well be!
