The Unreal and the Real: Selected Stories, Volume Two: Outer Space, Inner Lands by Ursula K. Le Guin
5.0
"Betrayals," "The Matter of Seggri," "Solitude," and "The Wild Girls" are among the best short stories I've ever read. More anthropology than fiction, but also more realism than spec. Incredibly emotional and moving, but also largely set on alien world with nonhumans. They're hard to explain, but I feel like a whole new world of literary expression has opened up before me, and I am in awe. You just have to read it.
