A Fisherman of the Inland Sea
Ursula K. Le Guin
The winner of the Pushcart Prize, the Kafka Award, and the National Book Award, Ursula K. Le Guin has created a profound and transformational literature. The award-winning stories in A Fisherman of the Inland Sea range from the everyday to the outer limits of experience, where the quantum uncertainties of space and time are resolved only in the depths of the human heart. Astonishing in their diversity and power, they exhibit both the artistry of a major writer at the height of her powers and the humanity of a mature artist confronting the world with her gift of wonder still intac

I loved every story in this collection. Ursula K. Le Guin truly writes like no one else - the worlds she creates feel very honest, very real, and are full of beauty and discovery.
My favourites in this book were Dancing to Ganam and the title story, A Fisherman of the Inland Sea (also called ‘Another Story). Both are technically concerned with churten theory, but for both of them the beauty really comes from the people and worlds that are described. I was very grateful to visit the world of O again (which I last encountered in the collection The Birthday of the World), even if just for a short time, with their complex marriage habits and longstanding sense of tradition.
I would also like to mention ‘The Rock That Changed Things’. A whole world built in 13 pages, the backdrop to a story of revolution and freedom - I was impressed by it, and it has left a lasting impression on me.
