		THE SIBYL is a thin volume, a tale, a fable, a parable, not a novel in the usual sense of the word.
		On the surface, "The Sibyl" seems to be a decent enough myth about a man who was cursed by Christ for a show of inhospitality, and his approaching an ex-prophetess of Apollo on a mountainside overlooking Delphi.
		Written in 1956, "The Sibyl" is full of the sense of confusion and loss of the post war era, and Lagerkvist's own, often pessimistic, philosophical debates on the nature of man's significance.
