Julie Choi asked this question about The Sympathizer (The Sympathizer, #1):
Can someone explain the duel meaning of "nothing" to me. I think I get it but am not sure. Of course, I get the first and obvious meaning - what is more important than independence and freedom? Nothing as in nothing is more important. But what is the other meaning?
Kathryn I see it as a Zen answer -- when everything matters, nothing matters.
