'Le Guin is a writer of phenomenal power' OBSERVER The winner of the National Book Award, Ursula K. Le Guin has created a profound and transformational literature. The award-winning stories in A Fisherman of the Inland Sea range from the everyday to the outer limits of experience, where the quantum uncertainties of space and time are resolved only in the depths of the human heart. Astonishing in their diversity and power, they exhibit both the artistry of a major writer at the height of her powers and the humanity of a mature artist confronting the world with her gift of wonder still intact.

Some stories are more than 30 years old and yet, they feel so modern and up-to-date.

The last story, titled “Another Story, or A Fisherman of the Inland Sea”, is one of my favorites, and if I could rate just that, would get five stars.

The rest of the stories are good but not fantastic.
