Review:

This is a great book and the introduction from Le Guin was a great addition from the version I read over 30 years ago.  I had forgotten almost all the details from the book (with the broad exception of a trek across the ice).  I vaguely remembered the concept of changing sex in response to a regular rhythm that depended on the partners involved.  I think that I missed many of the details of how this type of sexuality impacted so many different things.  Truly a wonderful book with many good features to recommend it and well worth not reading once, but twice!
