My mind is just looping on the ending of The Dispossessed. When I read that book first (because I read it many times!), I had just learned English. I remember feeling so so so thrilled that my new language gave me access to such an amazing story. What a gift it was.

Yep, definitely those. And "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas", and "The Day before the Revolution" etc etc. What a great writer and thinker.
