These stories lie in the misty plains somewhere between Fantasy and SciFi. Ursula Le Guin shows a fully formed world from the beginning, her anthropological bent shows through in the interactions and cultures she creates.

Rocannon's world I thoroughly enjoyed Ursula's first entry into the Hainish cycle. A hero's tale of a Gonzo anthropologist.

Planet of exile An expert drip-feed of world-building. I loved the elements of language evolving from a historically technologically advanced culture.

City of illusion Le Guin does a fantastic job of portraying hallucinatory disorientation. A suspenseful mystery adventure tale. I think she had fun playing with the possible lives in her new universe.
