The Compass Rose

North to Orsinia and the boundaries between reality and madness ... South to discover Antarctica with nine South American women ... West to find an enchanted harp and the borderland between life and death ... and onward to all points on and off the compass. Twenty astonishing stories from acclaimed author Ursula K. Le Guin carry us to worlds of wonder and horror, desire and destiny, enchantment and doom.

Includes the Locus Award-winning short story “Sur,” the Jupiter Award-winning novelette “The Diary of the Rose,” and the Locus Award-winning novelette “The New Atlantis.”
