I forgot that I had read the namesake short story months ago in The Found and the Lost. The second reading, with the world's complex rules surrounding marriage occupying less of my mind, made me cry. Her writings get better each time you read them, as if they're rearranging themselves while you have your eyes averted. Newton's Sleep reminded me of Paradises Lost in a way, only faintly. Ursula K. Le Guin's ability to return to a familiar setting and tell a completely different story (Mountain Ways, for instance, was set on the same world as Another Story and, likewise, centered around the marriage rules) she did never ceases to amaze me.
