Date: 2017-08-29 01:49 pm (UTC)Against that, Aldiss also apparently said (though not sure where, quoted in a Kirkus article in 2014 by Andrew Liptak): "The Dispossessed forms a high water mark of modern science fiction, illuminating its medium. It is a novel of subtlety and power, and quintessentially science fiction: the story of the creation of an impossible device."
In any case, Le Guin says that even if it was a Brian Aldiss critical work sneering at her, she could imagine blurbing it anyway. But this anthology isn't that book, as Redbird points out, though Aldiss is one of the authors anthologized by Zebrowski.
