Ursula K. Le Guin: The Unreal And The Real Selected Stories Volume Two Outer Space Inner Lands (2012, Small Beer Press) 5 stars

Powerful shifts in perspectives

5 stars

Well, it has The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas in it, so that's worth the admission price alone, but the rest of this collection is very good too. Caught my attention much more than the first volume (other people's take may vary, of course) with her use of science fiction tropes and ideas to tell stories from alternative perspectives, raising questions for the reader about our world and our priorities.
