For many years, I avoided Ursula LeGuin, on the mistaken assumption that she was essentially a fantasy author, by virtue of her Wizard of Earthsea novels. It was not until later that I discovered her science fiction work and grew to enjoy it immensely. But LeGuin is not your prototypical science fiction (or it turns out, fantasy) author. She does not write space opera, but instead focuses on character development and human (or alien) interaction. You could label her work anthropological or sociological science fiction, with the fact that aliens, or space travel, or wizards are involved, becoming almost secondary.This collection of thirteen novellas (very close to short stories) is a perfect example of her writing. There may have been a couple of duds (most particularly Hernes and to a lesser degree Buffalo Gals), but by and large there is good stuff here.Four of the stories involve elements of her Hainish science fiction novels, featuring the planet Weres, where slavery is practiced. In this set of three stories, the reader is taken through a planetary and societal evolution in which slaves are first freed, only to see the women become cultural slaves. Again, only nominally science fiction, to the extent that we are dealing with an alien species in a different time and galaxy.Three other stories are set in the author’s Earthsea world, and while I am not a big fan of fantasy, like her science fiction, this fantasy is not heavy handed with extreme magic and fire breathing dragons. There is magic and there are dragons, but they are very subtly exercised or only mentioned in passing. The story is in the characters and their interaction.The final story, Paradise Lost, is the best in my opinion. Perhaps the most “science fiction†of the lot, it is set on a multi-generational, multi-ethnic starship as it approaches its destination. The story is outstanding as the author explores the various tensions and societal developments that can emerge in an isolated population, five generations removed from any knowledge or empathy for the civilization that launched their voyage; an excellent ending to a very nice collection.
This is a collection of Le Guin's novellas that meshes in nicely with the two volumes of shorter fiction (The real and the unreal) the Le Guin herself selected. Le Guin wrote wonderful science fiction, fantasy and mainstream fiction and all genres are represented here. Her two main series - the science fiction Hainish stories and fantasy Earthsea stories each have multiple selections. There is also the magic realist 'Buffalo girls won't you come out tonight', the stand alone science fiction story Paradises lost, and (probably the least well known story here and the probably the one most likely to have been forgotten but not because it is a poor story) Hernes - the only mainstream story from the Searoad collection.Le Guin's great strengths are her beautiful writing that is both poetic and easy to read at the same time, her interest in characters and society (especially when changing) and these strengths mean she can write anything.My only quibbles are why two stories published here (The matter of Seggri and Buffalo girls...) are also in The real and unreal volumes. There are also two stories not here that I would have thought were novellas - The word for world is forest and The eye of the heron. The first has been been published as a volume in it's own right so that is probably acceptable but the second is in danger of becoming lost.
This thanksgiving I'd like to give thanks for the existence of one of the most wonderful women in Science Fiction.Ursula K. Le Guin. This collection of novellas is sure to blow your mind, over and over again. Everything Le Guin writes is amazing.These stories pack quite a punch, Every story is sure to send the reader into critical thinking mode, or hopeful thinking mode. This woman knows how to make you think, and it is evident that she has done a lot of deep thinking in her time.i especially enjoy her stories on alien civilizations and customs. She has gone to very far lengths to understand a civilization that only exists in her mind, it astounds me.
Overall a very good value (kindle edition) and the stories were all very good. Some overlap with the short story collection (Buffalo Gals and The matter of Seggri). There is a four story series on a slave holding planet and the revolutions that take place --Forgiveness Day, A Man of the People, A Woman's liberation, and Old Music and the Slave Woman -- I recommend these be read in this order. Also the author seems to base the slave holding society on an English heritage model (UK, Canada, US, Australia etc). I am not sure her story would hold up in a more totalitarian model such as Mao's China or Stalin's Soviet Union. Never the less these are all very good stories that make you think. The other Novellas besides the six I mentioned already are Vaster than Empires and More Slow, Hernes, Another Story or a Fisherman of the Inland Sea, The finder, On the High Paradises Lost. These novellas introduce most of the concepts we see in Le Guin's other writings and novels -- though these seem to fill in and not repeat what is in the novels. I think this would be a good introduction to the authors writing style and topics she covers. A major beef I have is that the author did not include any introduction or short summary about the stories. She did this foe her recently released short story collection The Unreal and the Real which is also a great buy. All in all I highly recommend this novella collection.
