"Ursula Le Guin is more than just a writer of adult fantasy and science fiction . . . she is a philosopher; an explorer in the landscapes of the mind." - Cincinnati Enquirer The recipient of numerous literary prizes, including the National Book Award, the Kafka Award, and the Pushcart Prize, Ursula K. Le Guin is renowned for her spare, elegant prose, rich characterization, and diverse worlds. "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" is one of her best-known short stories. "Like much of Borges or Kafka, 'Omelas' seems, somehow, to fit something vast into a small space where we, as with Borges' Aleph, suddenly get to see everything at once. Here is a big piece of the world in a grain of sand-and we must choose whether we, too, would really walk away, whether we can choose to believe in utopias built on someone else's suffering, as all human utopias perhaps are-and whether, if we would walk away, any true utopia can ever exist at all." -Gabrielle Bellot, Tor.com
Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018) was awarded the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contributions to American Letters. Her body of work includes twenty-three novels, twelve volumes of short stories, eleven volumes of poetry, thirteen children's books, five essay collections, and four works of translation. The breadth and imagination of her work earned her six Nebula Awards, seven Hugo Awards, and the Science Fiction Writers of America Grand Master Award, along with a PEN/Malamud Award and many other accolades. In 2016 she joined the short list of authors to be published in their lifetimes by the Library of America.
