I don’t know where to start! This one’s all of 32 pages.. you finish reading before you know.. but spend hours, days, weeks thinking.. debating.. brilliance!

A supremely short read but, in my opinion, more powerful in terms of content and implications than alot of full fledged novels. The writer plays with words beautifully in the beginning and keeps you wondering where the story is actually going; and then suddenly throws you off from your merry go round into harsh reality and difficult choices. Are you going to stay in omelas or walk way? Or is there a third option?Going beyond the literal story, it’s implications can be so deep and different- both at personal and societal level that I am in awe of the writer. I found it to be one of the most thought provoking reads. Highly recommended!

Good one
Se la mama ron con la última interpretación, pero y si en verdad vivimos en omelas y nosotros somos los niños del clóset ¿Será cierto?

The Power of a Short Story
Short stories sometimes get a bad rap for not being ‘enough’ but This proves unequivocally that they can be just as powerful or more than a full novel. Beautifully and hauntingly written and a story that will follow you for days after, I can’t speak highly enough about this short story. Truly artful and thoughtful.

one of the greatest short stories of all time
Ursula k. Le Guin is one of my all-time favourite writers of all genres. When you ask me for Nobel prize choices she would come first hand in hand with Cormac McCarthy. She has written a lot of wonderful novels of many pages. But this little piece is a miracle, an enlightenment, a gift to mankind.

Short and sweet and stolen by Star Trek
If you’ve seen the Strange New Worlds episode “Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach” you will see it’s a complete rip off of this story and while it’s a good episode they owe Le Guin a writing credit. The short story itself is a wonderfully sharp philosophical question that has been posed by others, who Le Guin credits in her afterward. A good read that should replace The Lottery in English classes.
