more Q&A with Lauren Groff. . .
LR: Do you have an interest in the supernatural?
LG: I think the supernatural has an interest in me, sadly. That, or I had far too intense an imagination and far too terrible eyesight to NOT see ghosts beside my childhood bed. And I have a great story about how this novel came to be--I was in the middle of swimming Cooperstown's lake when I saw something below me...something enormous and very thrilling...and wanted to give voice to the mystery there. But I never actually intended to write about supernatural elements, because I feared that people wouldn't take the book seriously. That said, I had to--the story forced these elements on me and wouldn't let go until I wrote them.
