<div>Winner of the Nebula Award for Best Novel: A young man tries to come to grips with his strange gifts as he sets out on a dangerous journey. Brought up in comfort as a house slave for a great family, young Gavir can recall the page of a book after seeing it once. Sometimes he even &ldquo;remembers&rdquo; things that are going to happen in the future&mdash;a power Gav cannot explain or control, and one that his beloved older sister wisely advises him to keep secret. But when tragedy destroys his trust in all he has ever known, he flees in blind grief, setting off on a treacherous journey towards a goal he does not understand. Is Gav seeking freedom? Or his own people? Then there is the greatest mystery of all: the true use of his powers. &ldquo;This follow-up to Gifts and Voices may be the series&rsquo; best installment,&rdquo; raved Booklist, while the Toronto Star praised Le Guin for &ldquo;her facility in world-making and her interest in human nature&rdquo; in &ldquo;a good, long trek of a fantasy.&rdquo; Shortlisted for a Locus Award, the third book of the Annals of the Western Shore is an epic story of survival and self-discovery that brings its hero home at last to a place where he has never been before.</div>

<div>&ldquo;A fantastical travel guide, reminiscent of Gulliver&rsquo;s Travels,&rdquo; from a narrator with &ldquo;the eye of an anthropologist and the humor of a satirist.&rdquo; &mdash;USA Today Hailed by Neil Gaiman as &ldquo;a master of the craft&rdquo; and Margaret Atwood as &ldquo;a quintessentially American writer,&rdquo; Ursula K. Le Guin is at her entertaining, thought-provoking best in this collection of ingeniously linked stories. Missing a flight, waiting in an airport, listening to garbled announcements&mdash;who doesn&rsquo;t hate that misery? But Sita Dulip of Cincinnati finds a way to bypass the long lines, the crowded restrooms, the nasty food, the whimpering children and domineering parents, the bookless bookstores, the plastic chairs bolted to the floor. . . . With a kind of twist and a slipping bend, easier to do than to describe, Sita travels not to Denver but to Strupsirts, a picturesque region of waterspouts and volcanoes. Or to Djeyo, where she can stay for two nights with a balcony overlooking the amber Sea of Somue. This new method of &ldquo;changing planes&rdquo; enables Sita to visit bizarre societies and cultures that sometimes mirror our own . . . and sometimes open doors into the thrillingly alien. A New York Times Notable Book and Los Angeles Times bestseller, featuring illustrations by Eric Beddows, Changing Planes is your boarding pass to fifteen worlds that are vintage Le Guin, from a recipient of the PEN/Malamud Award for excellence in the art of the short story.</div>

Changing Planes

<div>&ldquo;Ursula Le Guin at her best . . . This is an important collection of eloquent, elegant pieces by one of our most acclaimed contemporary writers.&rdquo; &mdash;Elizabeth Hand, The Washington Post Book World &ldquo;I have decided that the trouble with print is, it never changes its mind,&rdquo; writes Ursula K. Le Guin in her introduction to Dancing at the Edge of the World. But she has, and here is the record of that change in the decade since the publication of her last nonfiction collection, The Language of the Night. And what a mind&mdash;strong, supple, disciplined, playful, ranging over the whole field of its concerns, from modern literature to menopause, from utopian thought to rodeos, with an eloquence, wit, and precision that makes for exhilarating reading. &ldquo;If you are tired of being able to predict what a writer will say next, if you are bored stiff with minimalism, if you want excess and risk and intelligence and pure orneriness, try Le Guin.&rdquo; &mdash;Mary Mackey, San Francisco Chronicle</div>

Dancing at the Edge of the World

<div>This science fiction classic by the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author is &quot;a rare and powerful synthesis of poetry and science, reason and emotion&quot; (The New York Times). In a near-future world beset by war, climate change, and overpopulation, Portland resident George Orr discovers that his dreams have the power to alter reality. Upon waking, the world he knew has become a strange, barely recognizable place, where only George has a clear memory of how it was before. Seeking escape from these &ldquo;effective dreams,&rdquo; George eventually turns to behavioral psychologist Dr. William Haber for a cure. But Haber has other ideas in mind. Seeing the profound power of George&rsquo;s dreams, Haber believes it must be harnessed for the greater good&mdash;no matter the cost. Soon, George is a pawn in Haber&rsquo;s dangerous game, where the fate of humanity grows more imperiled with every waking hour. As relevant today as it was when it won the Locus Award in 1971, The Lathe of Heaven is a true classic, at once eerie and prescient, entertaining and intelligent. In short, it does &ldquo;what science fiction is supposed to do&quot; (Newsweek). &quot;When I read The Lathe of Heaven as a young man, my mind was boggled; now when I read it&hellip;it breaks my heart. Only a great work of literature can bridge - so thrillingly - that impossible span.&quot;&mdash;Michael Chabon </div>

The Lathe of Heaven

<div>This poetry collection by the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author presents selections from across fifty years of verse—plus more than seventy new poems. Though internationally celebrated for her imaginative fiction, Ursula K. Le Guin started out as a poet, and since 1959 has never ceased to publish poems. Finding My Elegy distills her life's work in verse, offering a selection of the best from her six earlier volumes of poetry as well as powerful new poems written in the first decade of the twenty-first century. The fruit of over a half century of writing, the seventy selected and seventy-seven new poems consider war and creativity, motherhood and the natural world, and glint with humor and vivid beauty. These moving works of art are a reckoning with a whole life. "She never loses touch with her reverence for the immense what is.” —Margaret Atwood</div>
