As described, this piece is all actuality with a guitar underlay. Le Guin describes her work as story-telling, making a sharp distinction between "story" and "plot."

In the end, what makes a good story ("War and Peace" referenced) eludes Le Guin: she says it's a "mystery." Le Guin is author of such books as "The Dispossessed" and "The EarthSea Cycle."

This would fit nicely into an author series.
