Socialist Book Club: The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin
About This Event
A foundational work of feminist science fiction, The Left Hand of Darkness follows an envoy sent to a distant planet whose inhabitants are ambisexual, challenging Earth-based assumptions about gender, power, and politics. Through diplomacy, exile, and survival in an extreme climate, Le Guin explores themes of solidarity, otherness, and the social construction of identity.
