Always Coming Home is a novel by Ursula K. Le Guin published in 1985. This novel is about a cultural group of humans -- the Kesh -- who "might be going to have lived a long, long time from now in Northern California." (p. i) Part novel, part textbook, part anthropologist's record, Always Coming Home explains the life and culture of the Kesh people, anarchistic, introspective and bound to their land by ritual.
