Reviews

Kate Sheckler's exemplary reading of Le Guin's work is to be commended for both its rigor and nuance. Moreover, her exploration of the ways in which respect, consent and agency are foundational to metaphor constitute a deep engagement with one of the central concerns of the study of literature: the negotiations and teamwork underlying all meaning-making. That makes this volume a significant contribution to science-fiction studies.--Peter Dube, Marianopolis College
