I have zero interest in Lao Tzu, but I quite like Le Guin’s writing, so I bought this book in 1997. And didn’t read it until today.
It’s surprisingly enjoyable. The author seems like a fun guy, at least in Le Guin’s version. I liked reading the book.
And I didn’t know that Trump was a Taoist!
The book is unapologetically Le Guin’s very opinionated version of Tao Te Ching, which I like. And in addition, there’s more text in the “Notes” section than there is in the main section, which would normally be a chore, but it’s Le Guin, so of course the notes are also well-written and entertaining.
