Many great works are chronicles of observed activities or absurdities , the psychological impacts it had on the thinker or writer, their own perceived and concerned socio- cultural implications of those activities.
In some cases they also used ideological extrapolation to interpret events.
The author who unfortunately, missed Nobel prize James Joyce's 1000 plus pages book Ulysses is chronicle of a day.
Some weave a wonderful study of psychology.
In fact the best book of Sartre is Saint Genet ( almost similar to story of Valmiki), though the world says it is 'Etre et Neant' . Probably, a few can support my perception in this area.
Among modern writers one who captures psychological aspects in depth is Eric Fromm. Hope you have read his works.
Even when some great authors, thinkers and seekers write travelogues they convey a lot great in depth insight , architectural study and philosophical insights in Paul Brunton's work, Socio-psychological aspects in Aldous Huxley's works and socio- cultural aspects in Lawrence Durrell's works etc
