has anyone read The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin?
Is it pro or anti leftist?
any help is appreciated as i want to determine to read it or not

It's a good book, and anarchist in its outlook.

Some of her other stuff is also good, like "The Word for World is Forest" and "The Lathe of Heaven." Her recent books tend to be too preachy, for my taste.

thanks, I was questioning it because a conservative reccomended it to me

I've read "The possessed"--is this book perhaps a parody or satire of it? Anyone know?
