John Locke, an art historian, is doing research on Orientalism in the visual arts — with a particular focus on Delacroix and the work he did in Morocco — under the jealous scrutiny of Belkis, his very young and enigmatic servant-mistress. John stumbles into a series of recurring, elusive encounters with a willowy, evanescent woman in the medina, who lures him through a labyrinth of Marrakech alleyways and then vanishes into thin air. Finally, he meets Anatoli, an alleged antiques dealer and coordinator of Orientalism exhibitions for perverse amateurs. Despite Belkis’ desperate objections, John is drawn into this web of sado-erotic phantasms by Anatoli and the pseudo-ghost of the too-beautiful woman, without realizing that he’s being manipulated.
