Winner of the PEN/Malamud Award for Short Story A New York Times Notable Book'A fantastical travel guide, reminiscent of Gulliver's Travels, in which the narrator visits fifteen planes and describes the people, language and customs with the eye of an anthropologist and the humor of a satirist.' USA TodayIn these vivid, entertaining, philosophical dispatches (San Francisco Chronicle), literary legend Ursula K. Le Guin weaves together influences as widereaching as Borges, The Little Prince, and Gullivers Travels to examine feminism, tyranny, mortality and immortality, art, and the meaningand mysteryof being human.Sita Dulip has missed her flight out of Chicago. But instead of listening to garbled announcements in the airport, shes found a method of bypassing the crowds at the desks, the nasty lunch, the whimpering children and punitive parents, and the blue plastic chairs bolted to the floor: she changes planes.Changing planesnot airplanes, of course, but entire planes of existenceenables Sita to visit societies not found on Earth. As Sita Dulips Method spreads, the narrator and her acquaintances encounter cultures where the babble of children fades over time into the silence of adults; where whole towns exist solely for holiday shopping; where personalities are ruled by rage; where genetic experiments produce less than desirable results. With the eye of an anthropologist and the humor of a satirist (USA Today), Le Guin takes readers on a truly universal tour, showing through the foreign and alien indelible truths about our own human society.
