Laurie Halse Anderson:
In 'Wintergirls', why are they called Wintergirls instead of ghosts?
Laurie Halse Anderson
Because Wintergirls are not dead... not yet. But they are not alive, either. They are so tangled up in the illness of their eating disorder that thy are frozen between life and death.
In the book Cassie is truly a ghost, because she is really dead.

Hello, Mrs. Anderson. I work with Pegasus Publishing House in Turkey and I am currently translating your novel, 'The Impossible Knife of Memory' into Turkish. I wanted to introduce myself and I was wondering if I could pick your brains when I come across some hard to translate words or ambiguities. I will go ahead and leave my e-mail address here: [email protected] hoping to get an e-mail from you! :) ?
