I love weird or funny or beautiful sentences Joy Williams could write a microwave-oven manual and Im sure Id love it, because the sentences would be tuned up like music. – Karen Russell
I think that different pleasures work for different readers – a friend of mine wont read anything thats not a cardiovascular sort of page-turner. I tend to care less about plot, but Im a sucker for humor and strangeness. – Karen Russell

I would love to travel around the world working for a travel company taking students abroad on cultural immersion trips. – Karen Russell
