About this listen

Outer Space, Inner Lands includes many of the best known Ursula K. Le Guin nonrealistic stories (such as "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas," "Semley' s Necklace," and "She Unnames Them") which have shaped the way many listeners see the world. She gives voice to the voiceless, hope to the outsider, and speaks truth to power - all the time maintaining her independence and sense of humor.

Companion volume Where on Earth explores Le Guin's satirical, risky, political and experimental earthbound stories. Both volumes include new introductions by the author.

Check out the Lost and The Found collection

The narrator is excellent. The stories were so so. Some of them were excellent, classic peak le Guin, but some of them were lackluster, and three of them were disturbing, containing fairly casual and laissez-faire descriptions of rape, slavery and murder. Sometimes le Guin can handle difficult or risky topic matter with grace, but sometimes she really does not.
