Le Guin please be warned that her every effort isn’t a “classic” like “Lathe of Heaven”! Given that I’d suggest that her short story “Those Who Left Athelas” was best, and not just for brevity. He does however find numerous and sometimes fresh “evidence” of the Abominable Snowman/Yeti!-but since that’s not what he was after that effort went nowhere - even though that’s where he was doing most of his searching! (The “takeaway”? Tibet can be cold! -)Īs for Authoress Ursula K. Or the dull but somehow still great “In Search of the Snow Leopard” where, spoiler alert, Matthiessen never does find the elusive feline. Updated: 5 years ago / Posted Feb 2, 2018ĭespite my Trekker’s desire to know all things Kahn I, too, could not conclude ‘Moby Dick’-SEVEN chapters on the color white was sufficient for me! (And “Paradise Lost” and “Paradise Regained” was bad enough to make even Hell boring! Milton without Bradley can be pretty tedious!)Įqual on my list of long stories that weren’t short enough was Thomas Covenant’s SEVEN books about how a leper doesn’t make for a great protagonist and an even worse “hero.” In Paradise Regained, Satan again is on the prowl, having successfully tempted Adam and Eve, and forced their departure from the Garden of Eden.Here he sets out to tempt again, this time Jesus himself, as he comes to the end of his 40 days in the desert.
