The Left Hand of Darkness

by Ursula K. Le Guin

On the frozen planet of Winter, where inhabitants shift fluidly between genders, a human envoy must navigate alien politics and his own assumptions about identity and loyalty. Le Guin's groundbreaking novel uses science fiction to interrogate gender, sexuality, and what it means to be human.
