Left Hand of Darkness is one of my favourite novels of all time. The inhabitants of Gethen are a partial inspiration for the Parthene clade in OA, but they use quite a different method of reproduction. Maybe some day we can write about a different hermaphroditic strategy that resembles the Gethenians more closely.
In particular I like the historical and mythological details Le Guin incorporated into the story.
