A literary collage, it consists of 19 loosely connected episodes featuring the protagonist, a woman named Renate.[3] The chapters feature a large cast of characters who come and go, several of whom appeared in some of Nin's other novels.[1] The stories are set in Vienna, Mexico, New York, and California.[3]
Renate was loosely based on Nin's friend and muse Renate Druks, and the two collaborated on a screenplay adapted from the work.[4]
