She has also written poetry and essays. First published in the 1960s, her work has often depicted futuristic or imaginary alternative worlds in politics, the natural environment, gender, religion, sexuality and ethnography.
She influenced such Booker Prize winners and other writers as Salman Rushdie and David Mitchell - and notable science fiction and fantasy writers including Neil Gaiman and Iain Banks. She has won the Hugo Award, Nebula Award, Locus Award, and World Fantasy Award, each more than once.

A groundbreaking work of science fiction, The Left Hand of Darkness tells the story of a lone human emissary to Winter, an alien world whose inhabitants can change their gender. His goal is to facilitate Winter's inclusion in a growing intergalactic civilization. But to do so he must bridge the gulf between his own views and those of the completely dissimilar culture that he encounters. Embracing the aspects of psychology, society, and human emotion on an alien world, The Left Hand of Darkness stands as a landmark achievement in the annals of intellectual science fiction.

。 就一個文本而言,《黑暗的左手》最特殊的地方在於三點:第一,它構建瞭瞭一個不存在男女,由中性人組成的世界。第二,文本中齣現的三種政體的實體,愛庫曼,卡亥德和歐格瑞恩,它們恰恰可以作為民主製,封建製和社會主義公有製的延伸進行解讀。第三,書中對於伊斯特拉凡的...
評分很早之前就已經買瞭99年《科幻世界》增刊,上麵有厄休拉·K·勒吉恩(Ursula K LeGuin)的《黑暗的左手》(The darkness of lefthand),由於種種原因未能卒讀。這幾天終於清閑下來,我把這件事當作一個神聖莊重的儀式似的,增刊不厚,裏麵有80餘頁內容。慢慢讀來,感覺沒有一絲熱...
評分最早是在《科幻世界1999增刊·鞦季號》(那時還不叫《譯文版》)看的這書,那時對科幻很無知,對小說的愛好也很淺薄,更容易被《反物質飛船》之類的強情節故事吸引。就《左手》這樣的軟科幻,除瞭還記得核心設定(無性人)和高潮情節(穿越冰原),餘下隻剩一片晦澀混亂、曖昧...

“There’s really only one question that can be answered, and we already know the answer...The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty: not knowing what comes next.”
評分Praise then darkness and Creation unfinished.
評分很棒的科幻小說,一書一世界,書中創造的背景很宏大,從一點切入的故事卻很簡單,但是相當動人,感覺文中描繪的情感在winter這個冰雪世界的映襯下顯得格外深沉偉大;星球winter的種族,政體,文化,地理氣候環境都可以拿來細細研究,簡直就是架空世界的典範;另外文中由雙性人構成的社會中自然也沒有瞭性彆歧視,俄狄浦斯情節,二十六天的生理周期也甩瞭佛洛伊德一個大嘴巴,將書中雙性人種的設定以及其帶來的社會文化方麵的一係列變化和現實社會作對比可以引齣不少有趣的想法
評分這本書談論的大概是:遇到與自己相異的人/種族時,你會怎麼樣。是像Karhide一樣的不信任,像Orgoreyn一樣的利用與譏笑,還是如Genly Ai那般,以為自己可以完全接受,卻在直麵差異時受到衝擊。
評分架空整個全新的世界,確實開頭讀起來很辛苦。但這個設定太牛逼,我們現代世界兩分法的思維慣性是不是來自於最初男女性彆這一劃分?如果人類是雌雄同體的,那麼許多歧視就會消失,如果人類並不始終處在發情期,那麼社會可能就會平和很多,但性欲的完全缺失,又會導緻生命力、創造力的缺失。序言寫得太好,科幻小說從來不是為瞭預言未來,而是為瞭創造一個世界,而這個全新的世界會激發我們迴頭來重新審視這個既存的世界。或許許多事情沒有我們以為的這麼理所當然。
