From chapter 3 of The Will to Change (join the book club!) while she’s discussing how mass media reinforces partriarchal norms onto boys and young men

    No one does tell, don’t show like LeGuin

    did you mean show, don’t tell— or am I misunderstanding

      Nope, which is what makes her writing so unique. Show don’t tell is the standard way of doing things, but LeGuinn often verges into tell for large chunks. Highly recommended reading The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, if you want to see how crazy she can get with it!
