5 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
A future society, where women far outnumber men, has abandoned the models of patriarchy and matriarchy and established new gender roles. But Lisbei, a young thinker whose gift is exploring the past, confronts the new establishment in order to force changes of her own. The Maerlande Chronicles is a sequel to the critically-acclaimed novel The Silent City.

We reading it in class, right now!

tournevis The students are having a hard time thinking in terms of gender norms. They've not been taught to think critically about what makes them boys or girls in our society. Kinda sad. 8y
Lindy This brings back memories! Read this long ago and loved it. 8y
tournevis @Lindy It is so good. The translation in English was well done so. It was such a difficult book to translate. In any version it's great. One of my favorite books ever. 8y

Day 21 of #riotgrams is #cool spines. Well, I have so many books, in my office at home, my office at uni, my living room, I just can't find the energy to looks at those spines for the especially cool ones. I do think that the multiplication of spines is cool, though. So many books so many spines.

The book I tagged is one of the best sf book ever written. Ask Ursula LeGuin, she agrees. Read it.

i found this book randomly digging around in a used bookstore and bought it based on the Le Guin blurb. I ADORED IT. it has some of the scholarly feel of Susannah Clarke's work, plus the transgressive imagination of Margaret Atwood's. i am just obsessed. turns out it's actually a sequel, and i already ordered THE SILENT CITY, cannot wait to read it.
