Isn't it short fiction rather than a book?
I liked the comfy description of the festival more than the heavy-handed moralizing.
I didn't get it. It doesn't seem to present an argument, so much as to present a state of affairs and implicitly invite the reader to agree that it's objectionable.
I started a thread asking questions about it a while ago, but encountered nothing but cuntery. I don't understand why people have been so quick to label it an ethical treatise or whatever. It seemed at least as easy to read as a commentary on genre fiction.
That story is like 3 pages long it hardly constitutes a book. Also, Le Guin is not a classical liberal at all.
I thought it wasn't that moralizing, more like it presented a question. Would (You) walk away from Omelas? Both answers can be argued for.
