Russell Banks visited for two days in 2004. He was introduced by Jamie-Lee Josselyn, fellow northern New Englander. We've made Banks' reading (from the opening of the novel
The Darling, then not yet published) and the interview I conducted the next morning available as downloadable audio recordings. They are linked
here along with photos and an essay about the Banks visit written by Megan Scanlon.
