Review: Masterful character growth and worldbuilding - Just finished The Found and the Lost. Yet to crack The Unreal and the Real. In typical Ursula fashion, each of the 13 novellas in TFATL feature great characters and character growth, in a variety of well-crafted socio-political systems. The collection opens with Vaster than Empires and More Slow, a story about the crushing weight of empathy. There are a few fantastic Hainish/Ekumen stories-- A Man of the People describes the emotional journey of leaving home and coming back again-- as well as Earthsea stories like Dragonfly which I would love to see extended into a full novel. TFATL closes strong with Paradises Lost, a page-turning perversion of the phrase "the journey is the destination", in the context of a multi-generational seed ship. Paradises Lost is easily my favorite of the 13 novellas. Will update this review once I have finished The Unreal and The Real.
Review: Simply wonderful - Simply wonderful apart from the greeny rant that is 'The word for world is forest'. Sadly Ursula Leguin is dead. I still remember my own mental images of these stories from my teens - 40 years ago!
