“The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas”

Ursula K. Le Guin

The citizens of the city of Omelas live fulfilling, well-tended lives. Yet there is a steady trickle of emigrants into the desolate unknown. Why? Leigh E. Rich, P. T. Bridgeport, and Dr. Carol Andrews examine Ursula K. Le Guin’s powerful short story, the issues it raises, and her genre-busting and -bridging work and life.
