![]() There is not a redeeming feature for this character and his role in the narrative needed him to be just so. He is egotistical, racist, sexist, manipulative, narcissistic. Davidson was the most hateable character I've read in a long time. I would have loved to explore it further. The Athsheans culture was unique and different to any I've read before. For much of this book you could switch out the Athsheans and Terrains with indigenous people and European invaders. Intense and reflective plot which encourages parallels with our own history and the atrocities committed. I really felt for the Athsheans and their plight and I absolutely hated Davidson! ![]() ![]() Le Guin crafts the narrative with amazing skill. This short but profound story gives raw and visceral insight into the harms of colonialism and the effects on both native and coloniser. ![]()
