LeGuin Praises New Novel

I'm glad the headline tells me this review is in praise of Jeanette Winterson's The Stone Gods. Otherwise, I might have mistaken it for yet another commentary on how literary writers who venture into the realms of science fiction might do well to become semi-literate in the genre first. Hacks though Skiffy Writers may be, they have solved some basic problems in how to present the material without, "Well, as you know, Boob, here in Wiftyland..." I gather the book is good enough to repay suppressing the editorial urge as you read.
