The Unreal and the Real: The Selected Short Stories of Ursula K. Le Guin

Ursula K. Le Guin has collected her iconic short stories into one volume. This selection of thirty-nine stories is compiled into two parts, the nominally realistic and the fantastic, selected and organized by Le Guin herself. The first part, "Where on Earth," focuses on Le Guin's interest in realism and magic realism and includes many of her satirical, political, and experimental earthbound stories. The companion part, "Outer Space, Inner Lands," includes Le Guin's best-known nonrealistic stories.
