This largely autobiographical work follows Jean Mintie, a writer with literary potential who becomes consumed by sexual obsession. Entrapped by a woman of questionable morals, he descends into humiliation and impotence, struggling to transform his suffering into creative fuel. His redemptive passion mirrors the Passion of Christ, though the novel ultimately reveals a darker vision of love as battlefield and its casualties as fallen martyrs.
