Über die Inspiration zu ihrer Geschichte sagte die Autorin übrigens folgendes:
The Meteorite Hunter” was inspired by a magazine article about, well, a meteorite hunter. This man’s quest to collect space rocks struck me as both noble and fruitless, and I wanted to capture that dichotomy in my main character’s struggle to connect with his daughter. I found it difficult to focalize the narrative through David, a divorced man and estranged dad (that’s pretty far from my own experience, and subject position), but I must have done something right because the story seems to resonate with readers, particularly men. I think it’s healthy for writers to stretch their voices. If you find you’re writing endless incarnations of yourself, you’d probably be better off investing in a private diary. As one of my teachers used to say, nobody cares about what it feels like to be a potato.

Mike, Geoff, Ruben, Sonny oder etwa einer der unseren .... ?
Aus männlicher Perspektive betrachtet, ist die Meteoritensuche übrigens sowohl nobel als auch 'fruchtbar'!
Zitat aus der Geschichte:
The Meteorite Hunter was backlit and holding a blood-red stone from outer space.
