Grand Master Ursula K. LeGuin has been recognised for almost fifty years as one of the most important writers in the SF field - and is likewise feted beyond the confines of the genre. The Wind's Twelve Quarters was her first collection and it brings together some of finest short fiction, including the Hugo Award-winning 'The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas', the Nebula Award-winning 'The Day Before the Revolution', and the Hugo-nominated 'Winter's King', which gave readers their first glimpse of the world later made famous in her Hugo- and Nebula-winning masterpiece The Left Hand of Darkness.

Of the first 8, I enjoyed NO story. Yeah, the art of wordcraft is amazing, but beneath the nice shiny shell lie weak, lame engines. The storylines feel naive, simplistic, old school (and simply old/not aged well) and really lack "a punch".
Nowhere near the quality of the novels, which I still consider 5/5s.
I also expected SF and mostly received fantasy. Old-school fantasy...
