[This book] represents the first time that all of Le Guin novellas have been collected in a single volume. Featuring thirteen unforgettable stories, this literary treasure is easily one of the most anticipated collections of the year. In addition to more than 800 pages of extraordinary storytelling, [this book] also includes an introduction from the legendary author. Contains the Otherwise (Tiptree) award-winning novella, "The Matter of Seggri."
A gorgeous collection. There are moments that didn’t age well, but they are more than counterbalanced by the unreal yet distinct and matter of fact presentation of worlds aslant to our own, so perfectly Le Guin. If you like the little corners at the edges of things to suck you in, pick this up.
And it broke my heart
I’m not quite done, but i double checked I’m on the last story and it’s so good. Most of the Earthsea stories were kind of a slog, but i loved the entire set of Hain/Werel ones, and I’ll be recommending the four generations of oregon women one forever.
