Review:
"Unlike many science-fiction writers, [LeGuin] is exhilarated less by 'probable causes' than by 'future experience,' less by the gadgetry of the future than by the quality of life and the psychic consequences of social and technological change...LeGuin often begins with a scienctific possibility, as in the story 'Nine Lives,' one of the finest in the volume, which dramatizes what happens when two technicians on a far-off planet are visited by assistants, a 10-person clone...She also writes, although less successfully, what she calls 'psychomyths,' 'more or less surrealistic tales'."
J. J. Hall, New Republic, 2/7/1976
