A passionate and unrepentant memoir of illicit and adulterous love
in 1970s Berkeley. Lynn Danielle -a dancer, a poet, an artist, a
lifelong student of existentialism, a single mother grieving for
displaced sons, attempts to revive her optimism against all logic,
by following, "Peculiar travel suggestions" (As suggested by Kurt
Vonnegut in Cat's Cradle). Inspired by her studies in the Classics
library at UC Berkeley Lynn takes up the time-honored tradition of
renewing her virginity in the sea, a nearly forgotten ritual
established by Aphrodite on the island of Cypress in the
Mediterranean. She meets the drummer whose beats take possession of
her feet; he is the artist who sculpts life as well as wood. Joe is
real, the quintessential Ares, a disciple of experience. Lynn is
real. Her daughter Marika is more capricious than Puck. The poets
are real. For their own amusement it seems that the classic gods of
the Greek Pantheon have, unbeknownst to anyone, possessed a group
of San Francisco Bay Area poets and their interventions further the
plot. Lynn's world turns upside down. What kind of feet does she
land on? Are they His or are they Hers? This book is a fictitiously
honest exploration of real life magic and a totally honest journal
of Victorian home restoration. Existentialism? Garden-variety
madness? Who is in control?
