Ursula Kroeber Le Guin (US /ˈɜːrsələ ˈkroʊbər ləˈɡwɪn/; born October 21, 1929) is an American author of novels, children's books, and short stories, mainly in the genres of fantasy and science fiction. 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. In 2014, she was awarded the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. Le Guin has resided in Portland, Oregon since 1959.

Winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards.
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.

中性人即雙性人的世界,幾個孩子的母親也可能是幾個孩子的父親,全社會共同撫養小孩,沒有所謂傢庭的單位。 僅僅是這一條,便能吸引我去讀,這與其說是勒古恩的想像力,不如說是某些人共同的理想社會。我也是這“某些人”之一。 這個故事似乎發生在一個遙想得到的時空,太多的...
評分我的同事推薦我看這本小說,主要的推薦理由就是這個外星上全是雌雄同體的人類,平時是無性的存在,到瞭發情期就會根據CP(?)轉化成男性或者女性,開始交配。 於是我就懷著獵奇的心態看瞭。←_← 故事的主體非常簡單,一個像人類一樣有性彆特徵的外星特使,降落在這顆雌雄同...
評分如果說到女性科幻小說作傢,娥蘇拉-勒瑰恩無疑是當中極端具有分量的一位。娥蘇拉是美國作傢,獲得過無數的大奬。她同時還是一位女性主義作傢,對女性主義議題有著廣泛的涉獵和深入的探討。《黑暗的左手》是娥蘇拉比較早期、非常具有代錶性的科幻小說,同時獲得星雲奬和雨果奬的...

it reminds me of so many things, remembered and forgotten, familiar and blurred.
評分無性角度的思考點不錯
評分A noble science fiction/ethnography/memoir. So complex that the imperial overtone and universality overstretch are well couched. I had the good fortune of finishing it on the Gethenian Calendar (at the end of the first hour). The shift of narrative focus and voice is ethnographically brilliant (Kudos to Kroeber). Rare and stunningly woven!
評分黑暗的左手,非常優雅的作品,但實在太慢熱瞭,甚至可以說,根本沒熱起來,雖然這不是絕對意義上的弱點…
評分"The king is pregnant" -say no more and read it 。【其實是非常非常感人的……雌雄同體的設定很帶感!如果人類也能這樣多好。很多場景非常適閤拍電影,空中的拱門啊,巨大的灰色的房屋啊,地道啊,茫茫雪原,冰川,純白世界,Foreteller的預言,飛船降落,Therem的死。。【Orgoreyn的勞改營各種dejavu 23333
