In both Annihilation and Authority, I noticed a lot of references to left hands and moving in leftward directions. Was this intentional, and if so, what was your intent in using this symbolism?
Jeff VanderMeer
I didn't really think about it, so it must be unintentional. Although I don't think there are a lot of such references. Hmmm. Interesting.

You pull off a very tricky thing in The Southern Reach by making a story where relatively small events bloom, over the course of the book, into much creepier horrors *interiorly,* with characters who do a lot of analysis and rumination. How do you maintain so much tension under a quiet surface? And what authors have you drawn from in doing it?
