This is VOL-2
Le Guin's stories are less about SF and more about philosophy. The SF setting just help to deliver her ideas. Two of the stories are really good and the rest were her telling you how you should see the world. I was not converted. (

During a quick re-read of these stories, I soon realised that although I have read them before, it is so long ago that I only had vague feelings of déjà vu.

Nine good stories, my favourites being "Semley's Necklace", "April in Paris", "Darkness Box" and "Winter's King". (

Le Guin's collections of short stories tend to leave me a bit confused. Some contain thought experiments and ideas that I find enthralling and will not leave me. Others are so bizarre that I really do not understand them at all. They almost seem self indulgently obscure, which is inconsistent with the sharp insightfulness and concepts elsewhere. As I said, confusing. (

Disambiguation notice

ISBN 0586046224 is for Volume 1 (Panther Science Fiction edition) but due to ratty data often is attached to Volume 2 or the combined edition. I have tried to get them all into Volume 1 based on the assumption that the ISBN is correct but the title is not. If your book is in here and its not Volume 1, please check the ISBN. I just hope that there aren't combined [original] editions or volume 2s out there with the same ISBN!--elahrairah

(?some editions of?) Volume 2 were printed with the volume 1 ISBN on their back cover -- check its verso instead. The ISBN of the Panther Science Fiction 1978 edition of Volume 2 can be found on its verso (back of title page) : 0586046232--moonflowerdragon
