Miller’s award-winning novel stands the test of time and justifiably
deserves to be continuously in print. So many questions to ponder,
presented through Miller’s monastic brothers preserving the last scraps of our
civilization and an undying Jewish hermit (assumedly the Wandering Jew of
legend) searching for Him who said ‘Come forth!’ Even though the Cold War is
over, and mutually assured destruction no longer so assured, A Canticle for
Leibowitz posits convincingly that ‘those who ignore history are doomed to
repeat it.’
