Finished Sa 3/9/25
This was part of a trilogy (3 novels in one book) that I probably bought at 'Oversized Paperback' (?) when I was a member years ago. I never read any of the books, but I'm glad that I finally got a chance to read this one. However, I thought that this was the novel about 'gender fluidity', but that was Le Guin's novel, 'THE LEFT HAND OF DARKNESS'. I want to buy that novel for my Kindle.
In a nutshell the novel is about George Orr. He is a man who can change reality with his dreams. He is sent to a therapist because he was over using his drug allowance. He was doing this to keep from dreaming. However, his psychiatrist realizes that he can change reality 'for the better' while he hypnotises George. You realize that when you change one strand of reality that it affects all of the others.
A delightful novel and I want to read a whole lot more by Le Guin. She is probably the closest author to write in the quirky style of Philip K. Dick.
This is the link to an excellent recap of the novel at Wikipedia:
