Paradises Lost

What Hacker News says

   I fully support the recommendation of Le Guin's short stories! Too bad they are easily forgotten over her novels. (I guess a novel, as a product, is easier to review and to advertise?)

   My favourite collection is "The Birthday of the World", especially the stories "Solitude" and "Paradises Lost". (Maybe skip "Old Music and the Slave Women". It builds on other books and is incomprehensible without them; or at least it was to me.)

   I love Always Coming Home so much. It's so rich and creative.

   For a shorter story (~50 pages), I'd highly recommend Paradises Lost by her. Many people have written stories about generation ships, but this one is absolutely stunning and truly marvelous.

   In my opinion Paradises Lost is one of the best books Le Guin has written. If you're wondering which of her books to read next after her two most famous sci-fi novels, I recommend that one.
