Sometimes inspiration springs from unlikely places. Ursula Le Guin, winner of the 2002 PEN/Malamud Award for her science-fiction stories, takes her inspiration for a new collection of stories, Changing Planes, from one of the least stimulating locales the airport."Airplanes are cramped, jammed, hectic, noisy, germy, alarming, and boring, and they serve unusually nasty food at utterly unreasonable intervals," Le Guin writes. "Airports, though larger, share the crowding, vile air, noise, and relentless tension, while their food is often even nastier, consisting entirely of fried lumps of something; and the places one has to eat it in are suicidally depressing." Amen.
