I do like his series where humanity has tried again on another planet. Memory of Earth is the first one I think?

I have been avoiding his recent works, they are just not as good. Alvin Maker is also interesting but unfinished and I didn't like the later books.

I like Magic Street a lot because I love A Midsummer Night's Dream but I also feel ambiguous about a novel where the main character is black being written by a white guy...
