Could it be a short story? Because Tolkien’s Leaf by Niggle somehow fits in that category. Or maybe is not just the story but what we know about the author.

- CamperBob2 2y agoCould it be a short story? Absolutely. Munro's Meneseteung was what convinced me to stop trying to be a writer, and stick to hacking.
- hackeraccount 2y agoI think the The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin would be the short story that got to me. I don't know if when I read it was particularly revelatory but I think about it a lot. This will rightly get me down voted but in U.S. politics lately I was thinking, "How much would you be willing to lie to get towards a desired or avoid a bad political end?" Though that thought is really just Le Guin retold.
