The Birthday Of The World (And Other Stories)★★★★☆
Ursula K. Le Guin A collection of stories set in Le Guin’s Hainish universe, on worlds with vastly different gender relations. Plus a couple of stand-alone stories. Mostly ranging from good to great, with Solitude and Paradises Lost being my favorites of the batch.
The Wind’s Twelve Quarters★★★★½
Ursula K. Le Guin A collection of short stories from early in Le Guin’s career, spanning her first sale through the time when she’d begun to be recognized as a major force in the genre.
