## Description

This is not an official history of the world. It is about what happens between the cracks. It is about the forgotten, the overlooked, the marginalized. It contains a story from history for every day of the year: a journey, feast, tragedy, revolution or little-known occurrence that happened on that date but has slipped from memory. Resonant, unflinchingly radical, mordantly funny, it joins humanity's darkest hours to its sweetest victories. It is the story of our lives.
