Book Review of The Telling

The Telling
reviewed on


A thought-provoking and intriguing speculation on the future of humanity from Ursula K. Le Guin. An Observer arrives on an isolated planet, only to discover that the past is alive and kicking under the surface veneer of a strictly regimented revolutionary society. Free speech, tradition and historical change are only some of the topics explored in this excellent fable from the sci-fi master.
