"The Unreal and the Real guns from the grim to the ecstatic, from
the State to the Garden of Eden, with just one dragon between.
(Every collection needs one dragon.) In every good career-spanning
collection, you can observe an author growing into her authority.
Here, every story, in its own way and from its own universe, told
in its own mode, explains that there is no better spirit in all of
American letters than that of Ursula Le Guin."

"A century from now people will still be reading the fantasy
stories of Ursula K Le Guin with joy and wonder. Five centuries
from now they might ask if their author ever really existed, or if
Le Guin was an identity made from the work of many writers rolled
into one. A millennium on and her stories will be so familiar, like
myths and fairytales today, that only dedicated scholars will ask
who wrote them. Such is the fate of the truly great writers, whose
stories far outlive their names."
