Synopsis
Weaving fact, fantasy and fiction--a portrait of a nameless woman who sets out to find the grave of Jane Bowles, the eccentric writer prominent in New York and North African art circles of the 1940s and '50s and a cult figure among literary lesbians. Bowles emerges as a woman paralyzed by her conflicts: her urge to write and her crippling self-doubt; her lesbian loves throughout her marriage to Paul Bowles; and her sense of isolation in the midst of her "five hundred goony friends."
