The Cornell Daily Sun ran a story on the Susan Choi reading, "Susan Choi MFA ’95 Reads ‘Flashlight’ for Zalaznick Reading Series."
"When asked whether she misses her characters after finishing a novel, Choi replied that usually it will have taken so long to write that she is 'not that interested' in ever returning to the characters in writing, but she still enjoys the opportunity to talk about them as if they were people. Choi also cited George Eliot’s Middlemarch and Virginia Woolf as some of her major literary influences."
