Review of 'Changing Planes' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

An amusing set of shorts based on the conceit of being able to change planes in airports...planes of existence that is. Many of these are more by way of reports on the cultures of strange and alien lands and peoples than conventional narratives, but the doses of amusing satire prevent them becoming dull, and this sort of thing plays to Le Guin's strengths, what with her family background in anthropology and all.
