Wesleyan Connection: Q&A With Andrew Meier ’85, Author of “Morgenthau”
“What is it about the process of ‘chasing ghosts’ that animates you as a writer and as a journalist?
I think part of it is, going back to when I was a young kid, playing detective and trying to find the clues to piece together what really happened from just shards of evidence. Something is broken or something is missing. As a researcher you begin to see the places where (something is missing), whether it’s in an archival trail or in an interview. What does it mean? I take that as a starting point to challenge the story, interrogate documents, and read between what’s left out.”
