I'm a little anxious about it. I know the book was written in the 60s and is a little older than I am, and I read it, but that was a long time ago. My standards for treatment of women, among other things, are a lot higher now.
I did love Arrival, and the cast is very pretty, so there's that.
My experience as a reader was I read the first ... four, I think? The trilogy and one more. And then I wisely stopped. But I think I would tolerate the gender essentialism a lot less well now, where it was ... better than a lot of things I read dealing with gender written by men in the 60s. Let's leave it there.
