This is what I think of Ursula Le Guin’s book The Word for World is Forest: Furry green men? I’m not onboard with this literary device, if that’s what it is. I appreciated the name of the earthlings’ space ship, the Shackleton — but the rest of the story just isn’t my thing. Not to mention that the text is annoyingly repetitive. Maybe in 1972 when it was published, readers would have approached it in a different way than I did just now.
