In fantasy and science fiction novels, American author Ursula K. Le Guin has created futuristic scenarios – often linked to Native American motifs. Always Coming Home, published in 1985, is set far away in a post-apocalyptic North California. In it, Le Guin describes the life of the fictional Kesh people: their myths, rituals, recipes and prose. Early editions of the book included a cassette with field recordings and songs. Le Guin recorded them with composer Todd Barton to make the world of the Kesh audible – for example, with The Quail Song.
