The Telling

The Telling is a new science fiction novel by Ursula K. Leguin.

Why will I never read it? Because it takes place on some imaginary world
with names for towns such as Okzat-Ozkat and Dovza City.

Yes, it takes disciplined writing to just keep up with the made up words
in a made up world but I find it far easier to listen to a novel that uses
words that are used in my language which is English.

I have no doubt that the actual story of The Telling could be very
interesting once you have gotten through all the made up terminology.

When I was younger I was drawn to science fiction but now that I am older
I more appreciate writers who write about extraordinary events in an ordinary
world. Stephen King and Dean Koontz come to mind.

There is no telling if I will ever read The Telling.
