Asks how stories affect the way we think about time and, in particular, how they condition thinking about the future. Focusing on surprise and the unforeseeable, this book argues that stories are mechanisms that reconcile what is taking place with what can have been. It provides an overview of the question of surprise in philosophy and literature.
