Editor’s note Two ways in. For science fiction, The Dispossessed — her best-rated book here — or The Left Hand of Darkness; both are standalone Hainish novels. For fantasy, A Wizard of Earthsea, the most-read; the later Earthsea books rate higher than the first. Her earliest Hainish novels rate lowest.
