The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin

Did not finish book. Stopped at 60%.
Меня заинтересовала эта книга тем, какие вопросы в ней поднимаются: главный герой с планеты Земля прилетает с дипломатической миссией на другую планету, где живёт народность с необычной половой физиологией и совершенно отличными от земных представлениями о поле и гендере. Я была заинтересована в том, чтобы понаблюдать за его взаимодействиями с местным населением. Какая-то часть моего любопытства этой темой была удовлетворена, но не полностью (я ожидала больше таких взаимодействий). Основной сюжет меня в итоге не заинтересовал. Типичный случай, когда мои личные ожидания не совпали с реальностью. Такое бывает.
