About this event
Join us for our monthly Sci-Fi/Fantasy Book Club! We will be discussing The Telling by Ursula K. Le Guin.
At our next book discussion for the Hoboken Public Library's Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Discussion Group, we will be discussing The Telling by Ursula K. Le Guin.
Sutty, an Observer from Earth for the interstellar Ekumen, has been assigned to a new world—a world in the grips of a stern monolithic state, the Corporation. Embracing the sophisticated technology brought by other worlds and desiring to advance even faster into the future, the Akans recently outlawed the past, the old calligraphy, certain words, all ancient beliefs and ways; every citizen must now be a producer-consumer.
It was the Winner of the 2001 Locus Award for Best Novel and Winner of the 2001 Endeavor Award.
“Virtually flawless. … a novel that aficionados of morally serious SF won't want to miss.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
