...equally delighted American opera fans. What is happening at long last is the arrival at the Met of Beverly Sills, the homegrown soprano who is the finest singer-actress in opera today. Sills' debut next week will be in a work never before heard there, The Siege of Corinth, a grandiose tragedy by a composer best known for his comedies, Gioacchino Rossini...
Brian Tate, professor of government at Corinth University, is a brilliant, stuffy fellow, wickedly mocked by his own short stature. Wendy, a boneless counterculture chicken enrolled in one of his graduate courses, is unaccountably but irrevocably daft about him.

The philosophical argument is set: reason vs. love, mind vs. body, nature vs. civilization, law vs. chaos. And through it all there is another voyage. John Gardner too, has set out on an impossible quest. Oddly enough he has Jason pronounce his presence...
