The novel begins with Jane Saint being sentenced to total reprogramming in an isolation chamber for being a revolutionary, which, in the context, means an advocate for women’s liberation. The novel then follows her “experiences” during the period she is in the chamber, experiences that center around a quest to free women. Much fantasy, with talking dogs, one of whom is named Merleau-Ponty, after the French philosopher; a friendly, supportive demon; a witch; a shaman; and so forth. See also 1989 Saxton, which is a sequel.
