Le Guin’s crystalline prose and her ability to dramatise political and spiritual issues of our time are unequalled – Amanda Craig * The Times *
As always, Le Guin’s language is as airy and sensuous as her concerns are weighty and abstract, every sentence as precise as a spade cut * Washington Post *
Le Guin is a writer of phenomenal power * Observer *
No question about her literary quality: her graceful prose, carefully thought-through premises, psychological insight and intelligent perception – Margaret Atwood
Barbarians-versus-brainiacs may be well-trod turf, but Le Guin sure-footedly makes it new. She creates a protagonist with obvious appeal to her intended audience: a geeky girl with bad hair but a quick intelligence, who nurses a seething contempt for the illiterate thugs who run everything * Los Angeles Times *
Effortlessly at the top of her game. Voices… is a marvellously thoughtful and intelligent piece of fiction. … Le Guin’s writing is spare and humane, her imagination forceful and dramatic, and her book is transparently the pick… of the summer * Independent *
