Comment: I found this book hard to follow initially and by the time I understood what was going on I think I'd missed that window of developing empathy for the characters that comes, for me, from going on the journey with them from start to finish. Its an interesting idea of an anarchist society but not a story that really grabbed me.
Question: Why did Le Guin choose to alternate time periods with each chapter rather than telling the story chronologically? How does this help our understanding of the story and of Shevek's perspective?
