One trait of Sand's writing that I admired in her piece "These Ghosts Are Mine" is her weaving memories throughout her story. Her recollections of her travels overlap each other and create a hazy narrative that has light shown on moments quickly, like a train going through a tunnel and occasionally surfacing for air.
I will have multiple questions for Anne Sand, including the following:
You mentioned that you and Bethany lived in Ohio... Where, exactly? (this is just my own curiosity)
Do you believe the way Bethany ghosted you has to do with the fact that travels are often romanticized, and once the travels had ended, there was no more material to paint a better picture of?
When writing this, did you want to call Bethany?
How many places have you lived? Traveled to? Have you written about those places as well?
When writing this piece, did you think of other travels, such as when you went to the museum in Spain? If so, how did you choose what to include in this piece?
