The Shobies’ Story

• Continuing with Ursula K. Le Guin’s Hainish cycle short stories, I just finished “Dancing to Ganam.” It follows directly from “The Shobies’ Story” and very interestingly builds on the questions and ideas created there.

• I finished Ursula K. Le Guin’s “The Shobies’ Story” last night and it was excellent. Perhaps I’m being affected by the movies I’ve watched recently, but the middle of the story had a very disorienting-horror-type feel to it.
