( ) I first read "The Kin of Ata Are Waiting for You" in the late 1970s or early 1980s, and have probably re-read it four or five times since then. Not sure why I felt the need to read it again just now, but I did. The story involves a nameless man who kills his lover in a fit of rage, then flees in a panic. His car goes off the road, he is badly injured and when he wakes up, he is on a strange island where a seemingly very primitive group of people are living completely without technology or contact with the outside world. These people live for their dreams, and their activities are directed by those dreams; only on very rare occasions does someone from the outside world find their way to the island, as our protagonist does. Essentially, the man learns how to be a responsible human being through his interactions with these people, and when he is ready, he returns to the “real” world to carry the message of the island to the rest of humanity…. This book was considered visionary and spiritually enlightening back in the day; it still holds considerable power to move the reader, but doesn’t feel as strong to me in 2018 as it did in 1980.

A major backlist sleeper! 130,000 sold-to-date! A feminist sci-fi novel. The kin of Ata live only for "the dream". Into their midst comes a desperate man who is first subdued and then led on a spiritual journey that, sooner or later, all of us make. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
