Publisher's Summary

The Unreal and the Real is a major event not to be missed. In this two-volume selection of Ursula K. Le Guin's best short stories--as selected by the National Book Award winning author herself--the reader will be delighted, provoked, amused, and faced with the sharp, satirical voice of one of the best short story writers of the present day. Where on Earth explores Le Guin's earthbound stories which range around the world, from small town Oregon to middle Europe in the middle of revolution to summer camp.

Mostly Character Building Exercises

There are very few stories in this collection of dialog snippets. Le Guin is at her stunning best in speculative fiction, but seemingly not in realism
