His crooked prophetic cry is nearer at heart to the majestic voice of Job's God: he knows what he knows, and if fear, lust, rage, greed, deceit, domination, revulsion, hurt — all the dire passions — are portioned among the play's dramatis personae, only the Fool can weigh these all at once and put them in their puny place.

Twitter, one of the only other social networks with major market share in the U.S., confirmed to the AP last week that it is against their rules "to use fake personae and to use Twitter data for persistent surveillance of individuals" and that it was "looking forward" to seeing whether USCIS's proposal was "consistent" with its policies.

They passed over people who had better messages and more authentic personae who might have beaten Trump, like Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, and gave the nomination to Hillary Clinton, a flawed feminist icon who was stunted in her ability to criticize her rival for his retrogressive treatment of women since she had enabled her husband in his retrogressive treatment of women.

I could go on about the bewildering scope of the whole thing, but instead I invite you to check out what Lopatin calls the event's "quasilibretto," a hefty document made available to all attendees of the shows, replete with a dramatis personae, an abstract version of the narrative, and a list of the people who helped realize it all, which numbers upwards of 50.

There is a sense of photographic preservation and perseverance in Muholi's process of documentation — and yet, accompanying this portraiture show, Personae, is a second gallery featuring her self-portraits, Somnyama Ngonyama ("Hail the dark lioness") which, among other things, play with the technical values of images to shift her own skin tone, demonstrating how subjective the so-called impartial witness of the camera lens can be.

The dramatis personae in the story are so unconscionably wealthy and so reflexively accustomed to getting their way that they are more like private islands than actual human beings; Sandy Weill, a 2010 New York Times profile reveals, has a four-foot hunk of wood "etched with his portrait and the words 'The Shatterer of Glass-Steagall'" hanging in his office, and this guy just plays the role of bystander.

It begins in the 18th century, with Shakespeare forgers and travel liars; makes its way through the 19th, with P. T. Barnum as a kind of ringmaster/hoaxmaster (among whose incredible acts was Joice Heth, a black woman whom he purported had been George Washington's nursemaid — which would have made her, in Barnum's time, 161 years old); and wends through the false memoirs and fake personae of the 20th and 21st.

Releasing the gloomy acoustic tapes also implies a spurious view of the original album as a raw expressionist howl of pain — Dylan, in the midst of divorce, baring his tortured soul in a plaintive breakup song cycle — which may indeed be true but ignores the complexity of how his canny ability to simulate a howl of pain dovetails with his skill at constructing cultural moments and assuming personae.

Its steady state is a scintillant, cold drizzle of the artist's fascinations: money and celebrity, of course, but also democratic consumerism (Coca-Cola, Campbell's soup), tabloid disaster (fatal car crashes, electric chairs, police attacks on black demonstrators in Birmingham), business as an art (and vice versa), reality as spectacle (and vice versa), and a kaleidoscope of social and sexual personae, all in a spirit that forgets the past and ignores the future.

The closest thing to a phone book for the I.D.W. is a sleek website that lists the dramatis personae of the network, including Mr. Harris; Mr. Weinstein and his brother and sister-in-law, the evolutionary biologists Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying; Jordan Peterson, the psychologist and best-selling author; the conservative commentators Ben Shapiro and Douglas Murray; Maajid Nawaz, the former Islamist turned anti-extremist activist; and the feminists Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Christina Hoff Sommers.
