I, um, actually have trouble remembering which one is Madeleine L'Engle vs Ursula LeGuin, as they're both female SFF authors beginning with L'/Le whom I was forbidden from reading due to their ~dangerously heretical~ views. Yeah. o_O
Yeah, me too. Well, I wasn't forbidden from reading them*, but they have the additional similarity of each having written precisely one very mind-controlly book, causing young kinky me to be vaguely disappointed upon gradually figuring out that none of their other books were like that. (Okay, that's not quite true. I was old enough (more importantly, well-travelled-on-the-Internet enough) when I read The Lathe of Heaven that I knew exactly why LeGuin's other books were disappointing in comparison.)
I only know what a tesseract is from a Star Trek: TOS tie-in novel about time travel, and I don't think that's the meaning intended here, since the jacket-flap goes on to call a tesseract a "wrinkle in time" aka the book title. ;S
That's probably for the best. As someone who read A Wrinkle in Time at a fairly young age, I was rather confused when I first encountered the actual meaning of "tesseract".
*I get the impression that most people living in the social-justice sphere immigrated here because they were sick of their patriarchal homelands, but this is actually my native subculture. I was born and raised here.
