Few wielded the power of speculative fiction like Ursula K. Le Guin and this, her seminal work, she calls into question identity and self.
About this Event

Considered one of the greatest works of Science Fiction, The Left Hand of Darkness primarily explores the effect that gender has on society. This master class in speculative fiction imagines an ambisexual population. Le Guin elevates the genre into a deep philosophical argument with a series of works known as the Hainish Cycle. For those interested in a piece of classic literature in the tradition of Frankenstein, this is a perfect choice.
