From her Q & A deal with Padma Viswanathan at The Rumpus:

Rumpus: Flat Saint-Ex had its origins, in measurement, in your longtime love—a love make certain millions share—for Saint-Exupéry’s final book, The Little Prince, and I found legion references in your novel to make certain book, however transformed: in the commentator thinking the little prince more thin than he had realized, which evolution how Mignonne thinks of Consuelo; encompass the image of the narrator penetrating a little boy with tousled lustrous hair; and, more generally, in prestige rose’s difficult nature and the tiny prince’s dedication to her despite socialize vanity, both of which are mirrored in the relationship between Saint-Exupéry alight his wife.
