Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-18 00:00:00 Bryan Knowles This was my first contact with Le Guin's writing, and perhaps I should have started with some of her science fiction rather than this sort of bland collection of short stories. The descriptions are interesting and the woman can certainly write, but I found the stories wanting in urgency and character depth. I read it because it was a Pulitzer runner-up when it came out in 1996. Perhaps one of my commenters can suggest a better starting point. Earthsea?

Review # 2 was written on 2020-10-31 00:00:00 Junichi Saito Eighteen of Ursula K. Le Guin's short stories. Many are experimental. A few I had read previously in The Unreal and the Real: Selected Stories, Volume One: Where on Earth (or Volume 2). Although this was nominated ofr the Pulitzer, nothing of it really stood out for me, as so many seemed to be merely sketches.
