This book was perfect. Amazing prose. Engaging, thought provoking, beautiful, emotional. So many things in 247 pages.
The Telling is a Hainish novel, like the Left hand of darkness and the Dispossessed (both outstanding pieces of science fiction). The story is about the meaning of culture, traditions and memories for humans. It is very much about Storytelling as it is about listening and learning. It happens in another planet but we can see ourselves reflected in every page. I loved Sutty, the protagonist, her experience contrasted with the ones of the people she observed. The ending is beautiful. I'm still processing it.
