I'm still reading #AlwaysComingHome by Ursula K. Le Guin, a #solarpunk novel from 1985.

As it has more than 1.300 ebook pages, it takes more time. However, it is good for reading in several stages, depending on the reader's mood.

Honestly, I'm really looking forward to finishing this masterpiece. I'd like to find out more about Ursula's Inspiration for this book.

on the edge of giving myself a new name. it sounds like a spell i want to cast forever and i dream of it every night since the moon was in aries.
i feel inspired by these stray cat people on a daily basis here, dealing with rootlessness while feeling sereinely at home. i’m so not alone. earthy full moon vibes for a lunatic heart in water falls.
listening to the sound of silence(d) in Istanbul is a shaky experience believe me.

healing is the new being sick.
.
working hard on good words to make my body en bonne santé again.
.
had some good existential epiphanies while lying on my bed, though it is still becoming a bit long.
.
ate so much garlic within four days while being a stay-at-home vampire.
.
is this real life?
.
i feel weird

New on my blog is the second half of my top 10 imaginary worlds. I get a bit deeper this time (or go on a bit more!), as these are ones that have shaped me as a writer.

This quotation, written in the context of a discussion of language in worldbuilding, helps me to understand why I find it necessary to construct languages myself.

#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!):
https://todon.nl/@agaitaarino/103191999783555365

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.
