"The Sibyl's Mistake" recounts the summer adventures of several
sets of American visitors to southern Italy. Frank Bones, at the
beginning of a one-year sabbatical from the University of
California at Berkley, has come to Naples to bask in the beautiful
city and to spend the year exploring. As his adventure unfolds, he
meets an unusual cast of characters, each with a different story
and reason for being there at that particular time.
They have the ordinary adventures of travelers in foreign
countries, but also most unusual ones, including being in costume
onstage live at the San Carlo Opera and spending time on the
volcanic island of Stromboli as it is destroyed by an eruption.
They experience great loves and a strange, ritualistic, erotic
murder.
Perhaps a now-obese Bacchus is among the mortals again, making
life interesting-drawing each character into the story. Will they
survive the mystery that is about to unfold, and how will their
lives be changed if they do?
