Product Description

In this collection of short stories, Sita Dulip from Cincinnati finds a method of transcending the miserable experience of flying. A mere kind of twist and a slipping bend, easier to do than to describe, takes her not to Denver but to bizarre societies and cultures that sometimes mirror our own and sometimes open doors into the alien. Changing Planes is by turns funny, disturbing, and thought provoking.

Format:Hardcover
LeGuin's best book for years- and that's saying something! Very Borges-like in feel, but still characteristically Le Guin. Her usual crystalline text (I wish I could write like this!) leads one gently to worlds of of distorted reality, wisdom and ambiguity. Satire, comedy, science fiction, fantasy, social commentary and philiosophy mix in these elegant shards of transfigured reality. Now all I have to do is find how to get there from Heathrow...

I'm buying and reading ALL books by Ursula Le Guin. This one is a collection of wonderful short stories, I tried to find it for years and I'm so happy to have found it! It's specially perfect to read in airports, while waiting for your delayed flight.

Format:Paperback
Amongst the most unpleasant places on the planet must be airport departure lounges (especially American ones according to my parents...).
In this collection, Ursula Le Guin has produced a number of stories about places that could be reached from the departure lounges of the world's airports. Ms Le Guin has employed her undoubted skills in creating new worlds in order to form the backgrounds to these worlds. Unfortunately, many of the more pleasant worlds are crypto Anarchical in nature, while the ones that are unpleasant are often either capitalist or formerly capitalist. This has been a long term twitch of Ms Le Guin's for virtually the last forty years. Also, a number of stories seem to be rather too obvious pastiches on current societies and/or events.
Of course, the title is a rather obvious play on waiting for another plane and swapping between the alternative planetary planes.
