Collection of stories inspired by Ursula K LeGuin (to varying degrees) by Portland writers. Some stories are more LeGuin-ish (Night Bazaar..., Wake, Prothalamion, Ib & Nib, Let it Die, Wenonah's Gift) than others, but even the less Ursuline of them (e.g. Old Souls, The Ones Who Don't Walk Away) are really good. Other stand-out stories include Finding Joan, Kwa-Zulu Natal, Mr. Uncle, Hard Choices, & JoyBe's Last Dance. Makes me want to read City of Weird: 30 Otherworldly Portland Tales, which features stories by at least a couple of these writers.
