Rausing recalls her commitment to Ekstrom: "These promises, they are not like anything else. They are like a vow. A binding obligation." Her dedication showcases the bond between friends, transcending mere friendship.
Describing the evolution of the notebooks, Rausing states, "What started out as a writer's notebook gradually turned into a text on loss... it was very compelling to submit myself to somebody else's voice in such a disciplined way."
On the visual metaphors in Ekstrom's writing, Rausing observes, "A lot of her writing evoked seeing as a metaphor, partly because she had unusually good eyesight, a visual clarity and memory most people don't have."
Rausing highlights the poignant nature of the title, linking it to childhood imagination: "The title is a line from the classic children's book Where the Wild Things Are, when the little boy, Max, is confined to his room his imagination transforms it."
