The Wind's Twelve Quarters: Stories | Ursula K. Le Guin

pick

A fabulous collection of short stories from a master wordsmith, spanning both science fiction and fantasy.

Le Guin can pack such a powerful story in so few words. Some weird stories, some lovely, all very human. Loved revisiting Earthsea, (The Rule of Names introduced me to her in a 5th grade textbook), & seeing new Hainish stories! Did have to skip Omelas though, I know I wouldn‘t have been able to handle rereading it right now. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

The Wind's Twelve Quarters: Stories | Ursula K. Le Guin

While at the library today I found a HP Olive edition of the tagged book on the new release shelves. I was unaware that the new Olive collection had been released. The 8 volumes this year are all story collections. I've been reading a lot of short stories lately, so I will definitely be checking out many of the volumes. The two pictured, along with the tagged, are very high on my list.

vivastory Have you seen the HP Olive line @Megabooks 2y

Caroline2 Oh what lovely editions ❤️ 2y

Soubhiville I‘ve gotten several Olive Editions through Book Outlet, I love their design. 2y

SamAnne It's dark, but I loved We Live in Water. Jess is a hometown author, so I also enjoyed the very familiar settings. I'm taking his latest collection Angel of Rome along with me on vacation next week. 2y

vivastory @Caroline2 They really are. Affordable too! 2y

vivastory @Soubhiville I bought the entire crime series they issued through book outlet. Love it 2y

vivastory @SamAnne He's an author I've been meaning to read for a long time. Looking forward to it. Enjoy your vacation!! 2y

Megabooks Yes! I don‘t own any olives but I love seeing them in @Reviewsbylola shelfies. I will probably have to pick up some now that they‘ve done a short story set. Thanks for the tag! (edited) 2y

Branwen Oooh these are lovely! 😍 2y

✔️ extremely sucky cat cuddles
✔️ pad Thai take out
✔️ multiple books on the go (rereading LeGuin's "Vaster Than Empires and More Slow" first from the tagged collection, then on to A Fine and Private Place)

It's gonna be a good night! #FridayNightBookClub @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @JoScho

This is a collection of Le Guin's short stories spanning from 1962 to 1974. Wow, can she craft a story. I loved this collection, with Le Guin's subtle sense of humor, big heart and strong sense of justice, subversive themes, diverse worlds and characters, and smart sci-fi. I even enjoyed the stories that leaned more fantasy (not usually my jam). Even the commentary she provides before each story was a delight to read. Highly recommend!

And it‘s Ursula K. Le Guin for the win again! The tagged book by my fave author is a collection of short fiction. It contains several of her most famous tales including the super short “Those Who Walk Away from Omelas”, which packs a wallop. You can read it here: https://www.utilitarianism.com/nu/omelas.pdf
