A Very Good copy of Le Guin's utopian novel, which uses anarchistic themes to explore political systems, gender roles, and class conflict. In "Dictionary of Literary Utopias," the authors praise the novel's "complex literary, philosophical, and political construction," noting that "Le Guin challenges the idea of utopia itself and sets the basis for what has been called the 'critical utopia' -- an imperfect utopia in progress that, by questioning the very notion and convention of the genre, revitalizes it."[Fortunati & Trousson, pp.174-176].
