Our next book is Lavinia
by Ursula K. Le Guin, at the April 7 chat. It's not an easy read, so I appreciate all the help we can get. My thanks to Robert for finding this 2009 entry in Tony Keen's Memorabilia Antonina, called Lavinia:
I've just this week finished and sent off to Vector, the British
Science Fiction Association's critical journal, a review of Lavinia
by Ursula K. Le Guin. Almost immediately, a large online discussion of
the novel, conducted by Niall Harrison, Adam Roberts, Abigail Nussbaum,
Nic Clarke and Jo Coleman, has appeared, in four parts spread across
four separate blogs:

There are a couple of other links that will be relevant: Adam
Roberts' original review on Strange Horizons, and another
interesting discussion of the book by Andries du Toit.
Read on, there is a lot of food for thought. And we all might as well start reading the book as soon as possible …
