The Wind's Twelve QuartersLe Guin, Ursula K.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"A fantasy may be touching, amusing, dangerous or instructive--and Ursula Le Guin's 'The Beginning Place' has all these qualities....[T]he strength of Le Guin's novel is partially to be found in her unwillingness to take refuge in her fantasy, in her wish to allow her characters to grow or to decline by handling, or by failing to handle, the blend of fantastic and ordinary life."
V. K. Burg, Christian Science Monitor, 03/05/1980
Review:"[Le Guin] wields her pen with a moral and psychological sophistication rarely seen in science-fiction circles, and while science-fiction techniques often buttress her stories, they rarely take them over. What she really does is write fables: splendidly intricate and hugely imaginative tales about such mundane concerns as life, death, love and sex. 'The Beginning Place' is just such a fable....It is hardly a new story, but in Mrs. Le Guin's gifted hands it is newly told."
A. J. Mayer, Newsweek, 09/01/1980
