La Plus Ca Change...

I liked this essay better when it was less smug and less poorly reasoned. I think back then it was called "Hysterical Realism." (via Ed.)

What earlier version? Where did you see it? Google wasn't much help.

Sorry. This was a poor, and mean-spirited, joke, on my part. I was trying to suggest that this Bukiet essay is a half-baked reworking of points James Wood made better in his essay, "Hysterical Realism." It can be found in the book "The Irresponsible Self," and is highly recommended, even though I don't agree with it. Thanks for commenting.
