#reading Ursula K. le Guins #ursulakleguin book #alwayscominghome which is offering me a playful look into a future though a non-narrative arc. An epic adventure in world building, with fully formed languages and houses and rituals. Gender roles are toyed with, #anticapitalist themes abound, and #morethanhuman relationships shape songs and ideas. The structure of the book tests my attention while also inviting me to create my own vision of the future.

La verdad que no me da el nivel para hacer una reseña digna del #libro #AlwaysComingHome (Ursula Kroeber Leguin #UKL). Como decía por aquí, la que pilota de esto es #SofíaBarker (¡ved su entrevista!):

Lo malo que puedo decir es que me parece una obra maestra, y quizá por eso a mí en algunos puntos se me hizo un poco difícil de asimilar.

Lo bueno, que como construcción de una sociedad #anarquista creíble me parece comparable a mi novela favorita: #LosDesposeídos.
Always Coming Home es muy distinta en algunos aspectos narrativos ¿(más experimental igual?). Te hace pensar, y te hace creerte un mundo muy distinto a este.
Pero es que como visión de qué supondría un resurgimiento del #belicismo #desarrollista y #expansionista en una sociedad pacífica post-#colapso, y cómo terminaría, me parece magistral.
Si la encontráis en la biblioteca, leedla. Y lo dicho arriba: escuchad la entrevista a Sofía Barker, que es muy grande.

#AlwaysComingHome I'm pretty far behind. About 1/5 complete but I'll continue reading this through June.

@polymerwitch@sunbeam.city I started reading in April before I saw your prompt, so I've made it pretty far but will likely fall behind because I'm a slow reader :-) I really enjoyed the spiritual quest of Part 1 of Stone Telling, where North Owl "comes home" in a sense, with her interactions with the coyote and the spaces around Sinshan. I also liked how the people today are described as backward-headed; so true! #AlwaysComingHome

Just got to page 25 with the condor. It reminds me of the time when I came across one. I was maybe 9 or younger at the time playing outside in Arizona between two single level apartment buildings when I saw it's shadow. It spanned the entire courtyard between the buildings and got closer and closer. I ran and hid under a overhang and it eventually flew away. I didn't know it til later but he was swooping down to grab me. I never saw the bird itself because of the glaring sunlight that day, but I will never forget that shadow.

Anyone else visualizing the heyimas as earthships and the homes as cob / adobe?

@polymerwitch@sunbeam.city I just saw this and was immediately stoked. How do we participate (besides reading)? I'm guessing post with your @name and an #AlwaysComingHome tag? Perhaps a "Book Club" CW?
