"Idiosyncratic and convincing, Le Guin's characters have a long
afterlife."
--Publishers Weekly "Her worlds are haunting psychological visions
molded with firm artistry."
--The Library Journal "If you want excess and risk and
intelligence, try Le Guin."
--The San Francisco Chronicle "Her characters are complex and
haunting, and her writing is remarkable for its sinewy grace."
--Time "She wields her pen with a moral and psychological
sophistication rarely seen. What she really does is write fables:
splendidly intricate and hugely imaginative tales about such
mundane concerns as life, death, love, and sex."
--Newsweek
