Everything we know we learn by osmosis. Our reasoning is rarely original. We regurgitate what we are force-fed from the cradle--other people's beliefs, biases, and phobias. In his latest dystopia, W. E. Gutman jousts with evil, absurdity, and paradox. He grieves at the futility of communism while shining an unforgiving light on the vampirism of capitalism, the resurgence of fascism, religious fanaticism, and pride of ignorance which, he asserts, is the suit of armor of those who scorn knowledge, culture, civility, and the truth. Wading through, as they unfold, some of the most sordid chronicles of cruelty, hypocrisy, corruption, apathy, suffering, despair, lunacy, and death, and extrapolating from the lessons they impart, It Happened Tomorrow: It Will Happen Again Yesterday warns against the demise of farsighted memory--the faculty, the sagacity to see the future as the unavoidable replication of a failed past. Past is prologue. We reap what we sow.
