Description
“One of the greats. . . . Not just a science fiction writer; a literary icon.” —Stephen King Like all great writers of fiction, Ursula K. LeGuin creates imaginary worlds that restore us, hearts eased, to our own.” —Boston Globe Originally published in 1976, The Wind's Twelve Quarters is Ursula K. Le Guin's first collection of stories—a superb retrospective of her best short fiction, now available as a Harper Perennial Olive Edition.
