In my opinion Paradises Lost is one of the best books Le Guin has written. If you're wondering which of her books to read next after her two most famous sci-fi novels, I recommend that one.
……比起长篇小说,很容易被人遗忘。(我猜长篇作为一种商品,更容易写书评和做宣传吧?)我最喜欢的合集是《世界的生日》(The Birthday of the World),尤其是《孤独》(Solitude)和《失乐园》(Paradises Lost)这两个故事。(《古乐与女奴》(Old Music and the Slave Women)或许可以跳过。它建立在其他几本书的基础上,没看过那些就根本读不懂;至少对我来说是这样。)
…easily forgotten over her novels. (I guess a novel, as a product, is easier to review and to advertise?) My favourite collection is "The Birthday of the World", especially the stories "Solitude" and "Paradises Lost". (Maybe skip "Old Music and the Slave Women". It builds on other books and is incomprehensible without them; or at least it was to me.)
I love Always Coming Home so much. It's so rich and creative. For a shorter story (~50 pages), I'd highly recommend Paradises Lost by her. Many people have written stories about generation ships, but this one is absolutely stunning and truly marvelous.
在我看来,《失乐园》(Paradises Lost)是勒瑰恩写得最好的作品之一。如果你在读完她最著名的两部科幻小说后不知道接下来该读哪本,我推荐这一部。

我太喜欢《永远回家》(Always Coming Home)了。内容太丰富、太有创造力了。如果是篇幅短一点的故事(大约 50 页),我强烈推荐她的《失乐园》(Paradises Lost)。写世代飞船故事的人很多,但这篇绝对惊艳,真的很神。
