Status Updates From The Unreal and the Real: Se...

Sleepwalkers - 3
Hand, Cup, Shell - 3.5 prob some deeper meaning that was lost on me just reading it once
Ether, OR - 3, same as last story where you’d probably be able to get a lot more out of it by really studying it. Also think it’d be more appreciated by someone older
Half Past Four - 4.5 took me a while to catch what was going on with each little story within this one, really like the concept

Gwilan’s Harp - 2 kinda a nothing story to me

Mary’s Lion - 3.5 last paragraph is perfect

Buffalo Gals, Won’t You Come Out Tonight - 4

Horse Camp - ? This one lost me

The Water is Wide - ? Liked this story mostly

The Lost Children - 3.5 only 2 pages but really well written, gets a point across clearly

Texts - 3 another story that’s probably not gonna stick with me, interesting little idea

Beautifully written as I expect, but I must say none of the stories stick with me. This is my first read of Le Guin's writing set in the real world, which is a change from her Earthsea fantasy work. I learn that she was classmates with Philip K. Dick, whose non-genre novels I really liked, Puttering About in a Small Land and In Milton Lumpky Territory.
