Has anyone else read _Courtship Rite_ by Don Kingsbury? It had the sad
distinction of being on the Hugo ballot against Asimov, Clarke and
Bradbury, or some such combination.

It has a wider array of "social strategies" than anything else I can think
of: the society is made up of little craft-clans (for lack of a better word
-- it's been a while since I read it), each competing in a kind of social
ecology for a good niche. (There's lots more to the story, too!)
