Author Claire-Louise Bennett explores a central human experience in her new work: how people live on in our thoughts. She discussed this fascination in an interview with FRANCE 24's Perspective.
Her latest book, "Big Kiss, Bye-Bye," follows a narrator who moves from the city to the countryside. This physical shift prompts a journey through memory. The narrator re-examines the many people who have shaped her life.
Bennett is interested in the gap between real individuals and our mental ideas of them. Her writing focuses on how we carry versions of others within us long after they are gone.
