While I am on the subject of Handy, let me once and for all pronounce disco music as a past tense art. Ever since Harold Melvin had a parting of the ways with the Blue Notes, and Gato Barbieri's "I Want You" took the nation by storm (count the cliches) disco's tide has been ebbing. So, what are we going to dance to? Just as the jazz musicians crossed over into rock, I've been wondering when they were going to move into the dance market.

Keeley first discusses the interplay between the literal city of Alexandria and Cavafy's mythical counterpart. He then treats each plane--the sensual (contemporary) and historical--separately, and finally unifies the two in a brief discussion of the poet's latest work, and the beginnings of a "universal mode," which...
