I finally got around to reading LeGuin's _Dispossessed_. I only recently learned that its original subtitle was "An Ambiguous Utopia”, and that Delany's “Trouble on Triton” (which I wrote about in my first book) was intended to be in dialog with it. Thus Delany’s subtitle, "An Ambiguous Heterotopia”.

(Heterotopia is a central theme in my new book, so all of this is research.)
