Camille Bordas on finding detail in small objects and writing in different languages – Rippling Pages: Interviews with Writers
Camille Bordas likes miniature objects.
It’s how they remind her of her childhood in Mexico and show off little details.
In fairness, it might once have been a lighter for Camille, but she still has them all.
This is bonus content on the Rippling Pages where we ask a writer to provide us with an object that has been with them during their writing process.
