A scholar’s notebook on the Deist Controversy slips over the side of a boat and sinks slowly into the Mediterranean. While it is being fished up, the narrator hears the story of Giuseppe, who once saw the Siren beneath these waters, and of what the sight did to him, to his village and to the priest who tried to save him.
