Art
One of the dubious ideas I got from Stranger in a Strange Land is that visual art must tell a story. As I evolved to a more YKIOK view of all the arts, I took out the part about “must” but conceded that my kink resembled Jubal Harshaw’s. So I like Rockwell and Hopper. But the stories don’t have to be straightforward, so I also like Dali and Magritte.

But this just goes back to "club to beat art Heinlein [or whoever] doesn't like with": I think it's much more the case that this is not a congenial story than that it is not a story.
