Silly me. Here I am reading what I think is Cabell's second novel, but I'm not recognizing anything. And I've read his first three books a few times and feel like I know them moderately well. So I'm confused.
Turns out I must have had a giant brain fart when I started this because it's his fourth, which I've never read. Ah well.

The protagonist finds futile pursuits of love while the author comments sarcastically on the usual literary treatment of women as useless.

He leaves one love, writes a trash novel, and finds another woman. I think the notion of this book is his series of heart-consuming loves and how vain all the effort is.

The protagonist isn't shy of sexist ideas in how he approaches romance, but he means well: he has a few poorly guided ideas about his current interest, but these manifest as adoration rather than ill treatment.
