Every time I witness history repeating itself, as it's seeming to do now despite the genuine revolution in digital communication, I'm reminded of the extraordinary, ambitious goal he set himself in his masterpiece, Love's Body, to get to the foundation of this repeating story (Joyce would say nightmare) and ask what, if anything, can be done to avoid its endless repetitions. Time for a rereading.
