I often choose my next book at random from the library shelves. I do this alphabetically. I was on O when I chose this book--a Kafkaesque allegory of memory and state surveillance. Despite being written 30 years ago, it's chillingly relevant right now.

Pure Medicine & the work of a master
This is the second time reading this cycle, and I have to say that revisiting this over the last two months--which is how long it took me to read all four books--has been a revelation. I appreciate that to say what she needed to say, at the time she said it, Le Guin needed the books to be very male centred, yet this culminates in the final book, Tehanu--to a story of survival, trauma and women's power. So grateful now that I am an older woman, to have these books

So she was a woman dragons would talk to. Was that the new thing, the folded knowledge, the light seed, that she felt in herself, waking beneath the small window that looked west?

Who knows where a woman begins and ends? Listen, mistress, I have roots, I have roots deeper than this island. Deeper than the sea, older than the raising of the lands. I go back into the dark...I go back into the dark! Before the moon I was. No one knows, no one knows, no one can say what I am, what a woman is, a woman of power, a woman's power, deeper than the roots of trees, deeper than the roots of islands, older tha the Making, older than the moon. Who dares ask questions of the dark? Who'll ask the dark its name?
