THE LATHE OF HEAVEN.
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, [1971]. Octavo, cloth-backed boards. First edition. A man's "dreams affect reality in drastic fashion. A psychiatrist attempts to harness his strange ability in order to make the world a better place, with unfortunate results. An effective parable which reads remarkably like a novel by Philip K. Dick (it was almost certainly intended by Le Guin as a tribute to that writer for whom she has expressed intense admiration elsewhere). Filmed as a TV movie in 1980." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 207. 1971 Nebula and 1972 Hugo nominee. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-642.
