"The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" is a 1973 plotless, short, descriptive work of philosophical fiction, popularly classified as a short story, by Ursula K. Le Guin. Its narrator seems deliberately uncertain or indecisive, sparsely and abstractly describing a few nameless characters in a vividly imagistic description of a summer festival in Omelas, a utopian city whose prosperity and success depend on the perpetual misery of a single child, kept locked beneath it in squalor and torture.〔Spivack, Charlotte, ''Ursula K. Le Guin'', (Boston: Twayne Publishers, 1984), page 159.〕 "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" was nominated for the Locus Award for Best Short Fiction in 1974〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Locus Awards Nominee List )〕 and won the Hugo Award for Best Short Story in 1974〔(【引用サイトリンク】 1974 Hugo Awards )〕 ==Publication== Le Guin's story was originally published in ''New Dimensions 3'', a hard-cover science fiction anthology edited by Robert Silverberg, in October 1973. It was reprinted in Le Guin's ''The Wind's Twelve Quarters'' in 1975, and has been frequently anthologized elsewhere.〔 Internet Speculative Fiction Database.
