In the story, you relate back to the symbolism of food very often. For example, there is the big feast at 124, or the way Beloved eats her food is often described. Do you have a perspective of the role of food in culture? What is your favorite food?

The children in your book seem undisturbed by ghosts and the supernatural, as kids often believe more in unconventional things. Did you yourself have any experiences with spirits while growing up?
