Self-Conscious Narration as the Complex Representation of Hope in Le Guin's Always Coming Home
Abstract
Calls Always Coming Home an “open-ended utopia” that presents the possibility of utopia without being specific about the means to get there. The self-reflexive narrator, Pandora, is the “structuring paradox” of a novel that leads the reader to long for a utopia while remaining ambiguous about its possibility.
