When they’re not being razed, like the great library in Alexandria, Egypt, or sacked, like the ancient one in Baghdad by the Mongols, they’re beset by prudish people who’d pick the shelves clean of whatever offends them this week. Pity the poor children in whose name these battles are often waged. Ursula K. Le Guin aims straight for the gut of this latter group — particularly the sort of bookish teen apt to read fanta- sies — by setting her latest young adult novel, “Voices,” in a ruined household with a secret library, one that the city’s oafish con- querors are frantic to find and destroy. Barbarians-versus-brainiacs may be well-trod turf, but Le Guin sure-footedly makes it new. She creates a protagonist with obvious appeal to her intended audience: a geeky girl with bad hair but a quick intelligence, who nurses a seething contempt for the illiterate thugs who run everything. Memer is an orphan, the product of a rape 17 years earlier, when religious zealots swept through democratic, cosmopoli- tan Ansul, destroying libraries and universities and killing intel- lectuals and teachers. At the story’s start, she has inherited her late mother’s role as house- keeper to the largest and most cherished of Ansul’s old manors, Galvamand, and its Waylord, a man as wrecked and forlorn as his ransacked property. He educates Memer in a mys- terious chamber that hides the remnants of their culture and, quite possibly, a long-dormant oracle. Whether the oracle works or not, whether it defies logic or can be explained away is one of the book’s more satisfying enig- mas. These fabulist touches weave seamlessly into Memer’s mun- dane doings, as if every library were magical if only you knew where to look. And it’s refreshing to see what is often called “women’s work” given its due: “Galvamand would not scant its guests or shame its ancestors if [the cook] could help it. This is part of what I meant about housework. If it isn’t important, what is? If it isn’t done honor- ably, where is honor?” There’s beauty in the daily rhythms of life and also defiance, as if the attempt to go on is the best revenge. The manor’s hospi- tality becomes the stage for a re- newal of a vanquished people, prodded out of silence by unex- pected guests. “Voices” is a companion to “Gifts,” rather than a sequel, and it is the protagonist of the earlier book who drops in and turns Memer’s world on its head. In “Gifts,” an Uplander named Orrec had trouble mas- tering the family talent of un- making things; Gry, who is now his wife, has a knack with ani- mals that proves pivotal in “Voices.” Orrec’s new role, now that he’s fully grown is that of a celebrated maker (in an unmis- takable play on the word). Orrec’s craft isn’t so much magical as magisterial: He’s a beloved “maker” of verse and a charismatic storyteller. (Imag- ine a world in which a scholarly wordsmith has the draw of a rock star.) Le Guin takes shortcuts, however, and settles for describ- ing his recitations rather than creating verses for us to share, but this may be deliberate: “Orrec finished tuning his lyre, explaining as he did so that the poem was not sung, but that the voice of the instrument served to set the poetry apart from all the words said before and after it, and also say, some- times, what no words could.” The reader is left to imagine what lyrics might be powerful enough to heat up the city’s sim- mering resentments. None- theless, these legends and songs that refuse to stay buried take on, as banned words often do, multiple layers of meaning. Die-hard sword-and-sorcery fans might balk at the book’s pen-is-mightier-than-you-know- what resolution, but there’s no lack of energy in Le Guin’s tightly drawn scenes of confrontation and rebellion spurred by Orrec’s recitations. But for all the heroine’s schooling, Memer has a lot to learn, namely that the power of those squiggles and lines on the page relies not only on how they’re wielded but also on what the audience — including herself — chooses to see and hear.

Special to The Times
AS cultural icons go, li-braries have had ittough. When they’renot being razed, likethe great library in
Alexandria, Egypt, or sacked,like the ancient one in Baghdadby the Mongols, they’re beset byprudish people who’d pick theshelves clean of whatever offendsthem this week. Pity the poorchildren in whose name thesebattles are often waged.
Ursula K. Le Guin aimsstraight for the gut of this lattergroup — particularly the sort ofbookish teen apt to read fanta-sies — by setting her latest youngadult novel, “Voices,” in a ruinedhousehold with a secret library,one that the city’s oafish con-querors are frantic to find anddestroy.
Barbarians-versus-brainiacsmay be well-trod turf, but LeGuin sure-footedly makes it new.She creates a protagonist withobvious appeal to her intendedaudience: a geeky girl with badhair but a quick intelligence, whonurses a seething contempt forthe illiterate thugs who runeverything.
Memer is an orphan, theproduct of a rape 17 years earlier,when religious zealots sweptthrough democratic, cosmopoli-tan Ansul, destroying librariesand universities and killing intel-
lectuals and teachers. At thestory’s start, she has inheritedher late mother’s role as house-keeper to the largest and mostcherished of Ansul’s old manors,Galvamand, and its Waylord, aman as wrecked and forlorn ashis ransacked property.
He educates Memer in a mys-terious chamber that hides theremnants of their culture and,quite possibly, a long-dormantoracle. Whether the oracle worksor not, whether it defies logic orcan be explained away is one ofthe book’s more satisfying enig-mas.
These fabulist touches weaveseamlessly into Memer’s mun-dane doings, as if every librarywere magical if only you knewwhere to look. And it’s refreshingto see what is often called“women’s work” given its due:“Galvamand would not scant itsguests or shame its ancestors if[the cook] could help it. This ispart of what I meant abouthousework. If it isn’t important,what is? If it isn’t done honor-ably, where is honor?”
There’s beauty in the dailyrhythms of life and also defiance,as if the attempt to go on is thebest revenge. The manor’s hospi-tality becomes the stage for a re-newal of a vanquished people,prodded out of silence by unex-pected guests.
“Voices” is a companion to“Gifts,” rather than a sequel, andit is the protagonist of the earlierbook who drops in and turnsMemer’s world on its head.
In “Gifts,” an Uplandernamed Orrec had trouble mas-tering the family talent of un-making things; Gry, who is nowhis wife, has a knack with ani-mals that proves pivotal in“Voices.” Orrec’s new role, now
that he’s fully grown is that of acelebrated maker (in an unmis-takable play on the word).
Orrec’s craft isn’t so muchmagical as magisterial: He’s abeloved “maker” of verse and acharismatic storyteller. (Imag-ine a world in which a scholarlywordsmith has the draw of a rockstar.)
Le Guin takes shortcuts,however, and settles for describ-ing his recitations rather thancreating verses for us to share,but this may be deliberate:
“Orrec finished tuning hislyre, explaining as he did so thatthe poem was not sung, but thatthe voice of the instrumentserved to set the poetry apartfrom all the words said beforeand after it, and also say, some-times, what no words could.”
The reader is left to imaginewhat lyrics might be powerfulenough to heat up the city’s sim-mering resentments. None-theless, these legends and songsthat refuse to stay buried takeon, as banned words often do,multiple layers of meaning.
Die-hard sword-and-sorceryfans might balk at the book’spen-is-mightier-than-you-know-what resolution, but there’s nolack of energy in Le Guin’s tightlydrawn scenes of confrontationand rebellion spurred by Orrec’srecitations.
But for all the heroine’sschooling, Memer has a lot tolearn, namely that the power ofthose squiggles and lines on thepage relies not only on howthey’re wielded but also on whatthe audience — including herself— chooses to see and hear.
