Description

Ursula K. Le Guin's post-apocalyptic vision of California is presented in this expanded edition, prepared shortly before her death. This fourth volume in the Library of America's definitive edition showcases her unique genius for world-building in her most ambitious novel and finest achievement. The novel is framed as an anthropologist's report on the Kesh, survivors of ecological catastrophe living in a future Napa Valley, weaving together history, myth, fable, poetry, storytelling, and song. The expanded edition features new material added just before her death, including two previously missing chapters of the Kesh novel "Dangerous People". This edition also includes essays about the novel's genesis and larger aims, a note on its editorial and publication history, and an updated chronology of Le Guin's life and career. A richly imagined and utterly original work, this edition is part of the Library of America series, which publishes authoritative editions of America's best and most significant writing.
