There is a light and humorous tone to these stories of fantastical societies until you catch yourself thinking, "That sounds just like my father-in-law", or even "That sounds like me", and you realize how much of our human personalities, both our strengths and our foibles, Ms. LeGuin has put into her tales. Most of her writing I find depressing; most of these tales I did not.
