This collection is comprised of sixteen satires which range from five to twenty pages long. Each satire is numbered but not titled. The satires do not contain action or dialogue for the most part, so they tend to have the essence of an extended rant or monologue. There is no considerable plot for the overall collection, but each satire tends to have a separate point or theme.
