Queen Victoria, writer

Salon has writer Karen Russell interview her brother Kent Russell:

OK, back to the questions I can ask and answer…oh my Jesus, Kent, I can relate to everything you said about taking evasive action, doing some fancy footwork around the Cruel Puritanical You-Must-Be-Working-At-All-Hours Brain, in order to get yourself into the dream time. When we went to that Dixie Highway Borders, I would get a “fun” book, the ones with the badass embossing, and a monster on the spine, and a “literary” book: a Brontë sister, say, or “The Count of Monte Cristo.” It took years for me to undo that binary view of fiction as either “genre” or “literature.” Although I must have been aware, even then, that there were ghosts in Jane Eyre and gorgeous language in “Dune” and Octavia Butler.
