I recommend also her rendition of Lao-Tzu’s Tao Te Ching. It’s not a translation of the texts, but is based on translations by her father and others. In an introduction she talks about the power of the words and the imagery, but says also that her take on it all, the Strong Man, the Mighty Leader, is, in her words, a more feminine, a more universal reading, and thereby more powerful. All of her books & stories are powerful in this same way. #bookstodon #leGuin
