Very sad to hear of Russell Banks’ passing. In 2003, Banks met with a HS class I was teaching and a class my father was teaching. The kids discussed *Rule of the Bone* with the author. Highlight of my teaching career. Banks talked about it in an interview w/ January Magazine. https://t.co/w97On6PdFd
