The Lathe Of Heaven

This one, to me, seemed very untypical for Le Guin. I would have thought it was one of her first, but actually it was written after the hainish cycle. The Taoism is very on the nose here, but it doesn't have much of the poetry and the reverence for life and mind that I loved about her other works.

It was written as an homage to Philip K. Dick and it really read more like one of his novels, like classical 70s sci-fi.

it's definitely soft SF that's From Its Time. kind of reminiscent of Phillip K. Dick's stuff, except the main character was actually likeable. Love how the continuum-shifts were treated narratively.

L'idée de départ de ce court roman est excellente : un homme consulte un thérapeute car ses rêves deviennent réalité, au sens littérale puisque la réalité se transforme véritablement en fonction des rêves qu'il fait. Dommage que l'exécution ne soit pas tout à fait à la hauteur, avec un récit brouillon qui ne m'a pas totalement convaincu.
