She, and yeah, I felt what they said at the surface about it being description after description. But at the same time, it still has elements story, minus human characters. It's that and the non-personal chapters of Grapes of Wrath that are what I love about Steinbeck. He manages to tie together individual characters in these settings to the larger culture / population and relate their struggles to those faced by the many.
