Praise for Ursula K. Le Guin's short story collections:
"An important writer. Period.""The Washington Post"
"Witty, satirical and amusing. Yet it is the author s more serious work that displays her talents best, as she employs recurring themes and elements-cultural diversity, unlikely heroes and heroines, power s ability to corrupt, love s power to guide-and considers characters and types (women, children, the differently sexed and gendered) so often disenfranchised by other, more technologically oriented SF writers. . . . [A] classy and valuable collection.""Publishers Weekly"
"Her characters are complex and haunting, and her writing is remarkable for its sinewy grace.""Time"
"Le Guin's prose is so luminous and simple, and she always tells the truth, and when I'm with her people, I'm with living people, on worlds as solid and real as my own. Le Guin has a gift, which is to transform words into worlds."Molly Gloss
"A master of the craft."Neil Gaiman
"[E]verything Le Guin does is interesting, believable, and exquisitely detailed.""Los Angeles Herald Examiner"
"Delicious ... her worlds are haunting psychological visions molded with firm artistry.""Library Journal"
"There is no more elegant or discerning expositor than Le Guin.""Kirkus Reviews"
