The original edition was published in Paris and identified as The Winter of Artifice. This Paris version contained three novellettes: "Djuna," a story that was never again reprinted; "Lilith," whose title was changed to "Winter of Artifice" in future editions; and "The Voice," whose title remained the same but whose content was heavily revised over future editions.

"Djuna" is said to be a fictionalized version of the story eventually told in the portion of Anais Nin's diary later published as Henry and June.
