A Fisherman of the Inland Sea, LeGuin. Yes. There’s not a whole lot more to say about LeGuin than “yes.” This collection includes some relatively early works, and it shows to the extent that there is less subtlety than in her later works. We’re not talking Tepper-blatant, natch, but she was clearly refining her craft. Sometimes my attention span isn’t sufficient to the task, but Ms LeGuin is always worthy of my effort.
