A review by synoptic_view
The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin

5.0

My favorite Le Guin, aside from the phenomenal A Non-Euclidean View of California as a Cold Place to Be. It deserves a longer review, but I will just say that the final section of the book on the ice is some of the best backcountry adventure writing of all time.

"Even now I thought, Surely when we’ve worked so hard— But the Ice did not know how hard we worked. Why should it? Proportion is kept."

Technically, I started reading this in 2010.
