But at the same time, feeling unbound, untethered to anyone or anywhere, feeling like you're walking in other people's steps, unable to leave a mark of your own upon this world, feeling alone as you drift through life. To me, the Invisible Life of Addie LaRue reflects on the desires of every human who have lived, lives, and will live - For freedom, for art, for knowledge, for love, for a life that is worthy of remembrance.

Thread!.Check out the Weekly Recommendation Thread.Fri at 9:30am, Karin Slaughter Author of Pretty Girls.Addie does more living than we see on the page, but for the purposes of this narrative, I tried to use art and Western culture to develop a path for her. She wouldn't be able to go on anything that required identification, that she couldn't stow away on. I had to be aware of her own travel limitations because even though she is forgettable, she's not invisible. So, I started looking at tracing Addie along the path of cultural development in the Western world. She enjoys art and culture and refinement. She is somebody who did not sign up for immortality to travel. I needed to remember that Addie is a unique individual, and as a person is several things. There was a temptation to be like, "This is Addie in Tokyo, this is Addie in Mexico City." I didn't want to treat Addie as a doorway to these places. In the end, I realized that I needed to narrow it down in some way. I would go on research trips where I would try and figure out what path Addie would take. ![]() I became a collector of memories for a really long time, a collector of places. ![]()
