As Crane shows in her witty and provocative discussion, Nothing is nothing less than fascinating. Crane does here, with a capital "n." But Nothing has actually been happening all along. It will take some-possibly considerable-mental adjustment before we can see Nothing as Susan A. "Nothing" has been a catch-all term for everything that is supposedly uninteresting or is just not there. But what does it mean to look at the past and to remember that "nothing happened"? Why might we feel as if "nothing is the way it was"? This book transforms these utterly ordinary observations and redefines "Nothing" as something we have known and can remember. History is what we remember and write about that past, the narratives we craft to make sense out of our memories and their sources. But what does it mean to look at the past and to remember that "nothing happened"? Why might we feel as if "nothing is the way it was"? This book transforms these utterly ordinary observations and redefines "Nothing" The past is what happened.
