Sita Dulip has missed her flight out of Chicago. But instead of listening to garbled announcements in the airport, she discovers a method of bypassing the crowds at the desks, a nasty lunch, whimpering children, their punitive parents, and the blue plastic chairs bolted to the floor: she changes planes—literally. Sita discovers entire planes of existence and visits societies not found on Earth—bizarre societies that share similarities with Earth's cultures and sometimes open doors into the alien.

The author had a very creative premise of traveling to different planes of existence and I appreciate her ability to give the reader a feel for each of these vastly different worlds.

Interesting and unusual book

I enjoyed several of the tales contained in this book and LeGuin writes beautifully. It was not quite what i expected and not my favorite type of sci fi... But definitely worth a read.

Heavy duty sci fi

A few of these stories are poeticly written and moving, others are interesting thought experiments that reminded me a bit of Borges. Some are all or mostly social satire....these seemed weakest to me, though I agreed with her sentiments.

I am glad to have listened to all of them -- they are well read -- and I will listen to a few of them again.

Uneven U. K. Le Guin is still great

I was gifted this book ahead of a recent trip by plane and loved how creative it was. The narrator is especially good.

Lovely

The narrator was fine, but I found the "stories" themselves and the book to be very boring.

Could not finish. I've enjoyed several of leGuinns books, but not this one!
