The novel's vignettes depict disconnected and unresolved stories from various historical periods and cultures. The protagonist's experiences are based on interviews with a former convict named Ed Morrell, who spent time in solitary confinement. The legacy of the novel includes a 1920 silent film adaptation and a 2005 movie loosely based on the story. Additionally, it is suggested that H. P. Lovecraft's work was influenced by "The Star Rover." The novel is available as a public domain audiobook and has been a subject of literary analysis.
