A thought-provoking collection. Much of it is typical Le Guin– the title story is her anthropological exploration of justice for people who don't often get to enjoy it, while the essay on publishing is her anti-books-as-commodity stance as she's expressed in a myriad of ways before. The modesty essay was unexpected and refreshing. I was perplexed by the interview, which contained many plain bad questions (for Le Guin, anyway) met with deservedly snarky non-answers. Sometimes there were hints of wisdom, though.
