Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | A cycle of stories by Ursula K. Le Guin, each taking place on another plane - the word "plane" being used not unlike in the universe of Planescape, the main difference being that in Le Guin's book one can get to another plane only from the waiting lounge at the airport, (provided that one is sufficiently stressed and tired). Differences between particular planes are primarily cultural, even if they are induced by the means of technology. People from Earth practice interplanary travel either out of boredom at the airport or as the tourists who want to spend their holidays at a particular plane. When the stories focus on them instead of the people from other planes, it is done for Aesopian purposes. The plot is not very action-laden, as the stories resemble anthropological descriptions of foreign cultures and are based on the exploration of large but simple differences between the inhabitants of Earth and other planes. |
