Always Coming Home
Always Coming Home is a 1985 novel by Ursula K. Le Guin, focusing on the character Stone Telling and her life with the Kesh and her experiences in a nearby patriarchal culture (the Condor people, aka the Dayao); and focusing perhaps even more on the culture of the Kesh.
The book contains a significant amount of cultural lore and essays on Kesh culture, and notes from Pandora. One edition (ISBN 0-06-015456-X) was published with a cassette audio recording of "Songs and Poetry of the Kesh", performed by Todd Barton; the book contains illustrations by Margaret Chodos. Always Coming Home was adapted for the theater at Naropa University in 1993 by Ruth Davis-Fyer, with music composed and directed by Brian Mac Ian.
