Changing Planes[《变化的位面》插图版]

In this collection, Ursula Le Guin , winner of the National Book Award and the PEN/Malamud Award, presents a world where there's a better way of changing planes.
Missing a flight, waiting in an airport, listening to garbled announcements -- who doesn't hate that misery?
But Sita Dulip from
A mere kind of twist and a slipping bend, easier to do than to describe, takes her not to Denver but to Strupsirts, a picturesque region of waterspouts and volcanoes, or to Djeyo where she can stay for rwo nights in a small hotel with a balcony overlooking the amber Sea of Somue. This new discovery—changing planes— enables Sita to visit bizarre societies and cultures that sometimes mirror our own and sometimes open doors into the alien.
Illustrated by Eric Beddows, Le Guin's account of her travels is by turns funny, disturbing, and thought provoking.
