A quote from Ken Liu's introduction to Ursula K. Le Guin's The Language of the Night reads, "When reading, we don’t converse only with the writer, but also with our fellow readers. As much as we in the West have emphasized the sovereignty of the individual, the good life isn’t lived alone, but in flowing conversation—and Le Guin’s conception of liberty is, in particular, not solitary, static, or stable, but communitarian, dynamic, anarchic."
