Aye. Jemisin’s story seems, for lack of a better term, mean spirited, as though she were personally offended by Omelas.

The Ones Who Walk Away from The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas has been mentioned elsewhere in the thread. Is that it?

It’s also in the introduction essay in The Unreal and the Real Volume 2: Selected Stories of Ursula K. Le Guin: Outer Space & Inner Lands
I’d go take a picture to prove it, but I’m in bed and it’s cold.

Not exactly nostalgic but more… Okay, let me explain. Shortly after my mom died, I started reading really middle ground YA books/chick lit. Not the stuff a fella would read at all.
I read that stuff because I wanted something light. Something that would take the pain away. Something that made things happy. And it worked.
I miss that feeling of just disappearing into a really light, low stakes book.

“You up to anything?”
“Nothing much bro. Watching Twin Peaks and having a bud.”
“True.”
“You?”
“Nothing much.”
“True.”
