Clojure: How to to recur upon exception?

Macros are calling…

How about this:

(defn try-times*
  "Executes thunk. If an exception is thrown, will retry. At most n retries
  are done. If still some exception is thrown it is bubbled upwards in
  the call chain."
  [n thunk]
  (loop [n n]
    (if-let [result (try
                      [(thunk)]
                      (catch Exception e
                        (when (zero? n)
                          (throw e))))]
      (result 0)
      (recur (dec n)))))

(defmacro try-times
  "Executes body. If an exception is thrown, will retry. At most n retries
  are done. If still some exception is thrown it is bubbled upwards in
  the call chain."
  [n & body]
  `(try-times* ~n (fn [] ~@body)))
