WORTH CONSUMING!

I enjoyed this book. My favorite stories were Mazes and Intracom, and there were none I disliked. This is a library book, and will be keeping my eye out for a used copy to add to my growing collection.

WORTH CONSUMING!

The collection is diverse, highlighting Le Guin’s talents and versatility as a writer. My two favorites from this collection were “Diary of the Rose,” which reminds me of a subplot plausible in a pre 1984 Orwellian-style world, and “Schrödinger’s Cat,” for its surreal silliness (the cat will be dead or not dead.).

WORTH CONSUMING!

Ursula Le Guin has a real gift with language and characterization. The stories in this book cover topics as diverse as adventure, love, death, innocence, rebirth, and the power of perspective. If I had to pick two favorites, they would be “Mazes” and “The Wife’s Story”, because I really like stories portrayed from an unusual perspective, where part of the fun in reading is puzzling out who the narrator actually is.
