Un fantôme américain

Nordhaus blends supernatural tales with real events, creating a layered narrative. I'm curious how she decided where to draw the line between fact and folklore.

The vivid descriptions of desert life made me wonder how much of the setting was based on personal memories versus research. Did the landscape evoke similar feelings for others?

The memoir feels both intimate and expansive, but I wonder what choices were made to keep the narrative engaging without overwhelming the reader with details.
