We're deeply saddened by the news that our longtime contributor and dear friend Russell Banks died two nights ago. It was our honor to publish his work in our pages, including our most recent issue, ONWORD, which features his magnificent novella "Kidnapped."
I'm devastated by the news that Russell Banks died last night. "Still crazy, still pals after all these years," he wrote over a decade ago in my copy of Rule of the Bone, and that's how I'll still think of him going forward. My heart goes out to his family, RIP Russell xxx
