When Grief Feels Like Presence
from Adelaide News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Siri Hustvedt’s hauntingly beautiful new memoir, Ghost Stories, explores the eerie, tender ways grief reshapes perception—after her husband Paul Auster’s death, she felt his presence vividly, a phenomenon shared by 30-60% of mourners. Blending science and soul, she traces how the brain copes with loss, honoring Auster’s own wish to linger as a ghost. Writing the book became her way of resurrecting his memory, even as sensory ghosts—like cigar smoke—haunt her still. It’s a raw, lyrical testament to love’s persistence beyond death.
