More NothingWherein Our Heroine
Revisits the Concept of Nothing.
Varied responses have come back on my
essay
on "nothing." One apartment-dwelling friend has offered me "far more than $50"
for aural nothing (he has a noisy upstairs neighbor). Another points out that
Nothing was a very successful branding
campaign in New Zealand. Additionally, there was a follow-up from the
Kiwis: Buy Nothing
Day. There is a nothing-inspired Christmas push underway
as well.
Interestingly enough, much of this nothing-ness is consumer related. But literature has had its fair share of nothing. Truly, there is Nothing New under the sun. And, "Much Ado" included, much has been said in quotes about nothing. Television had a show about nothing. Many works of fine art have been derided as nothing. Philosophy has its nothing. As does religion. In mathematics, nothing is a powerful concept. The Internet also, of course, has plenty of nothing. Some who have read to this point might suspect that Our Heroine is suffering a bit from that malaise known as Writer's Block. They would, unfortunately, be correct. But - if one has writer's block, what is one to do except be clever about nothing?
