The book is a collection of set pieces that are inter-linked, not in any direct way, but through thematic elements. At the heart of it, it is a metaphysical work with contemplations on life, death, and the nature of existence. The non-linear, fragmentary form of this work is very different from what Hijab Imtiaz Ali's contemporaries were writing, and suggests that Ali was at the forefront of Urdu Modernist literature.
