the_red_shoes and I are going to re-read Ursula K. LeGuin's unusual fantasy novel, The Beginning Place, today, and commence a
discussion and close reading-- see comments to this link on Monday.
I am not sure if we'll go chapter-by-chapter, or post on parts we found interesting, or what-- I favor re-reading it and then going where our fancy takes us.
Please join in! I mention this early so that anyone who would like to re-read the book, or read it for the first time, can get a head start. It is short and not a difficult read. It's recently been reprinted, I believe as a YA novel (a slightly dubious decision), and should also be in any decent library.
