-Le Guin is after something much bigger than writing stories that focus on embodying a carrier bag theory. It's not just a rejection of narrative driven by conflict, punctuation by weapons and violence; Le Guin doen't expect those things to disappear entirely, but rather wants them to be elements contained in the story.
