Despite being a globally successful writer who has been published for over 30 years
and is credited with two successful movies based on his work, there is but one prior
study of Russell Banks's work in English, which is now nearly a decade old. "Russell
Banks: In Search of Freedom" offers the only modern, complete commentary on his work
and establishes Banks as one of the leaders in the postmodern, neorealist tradition
of American fiction. This critical guide contains a brief biography of Banks, describing
the details of his life that shaped his philosophies, plot themes, and settings, such
as New England and the Caribbean. "Russell Banks" then illustrates how Banks moved
beyond his working-class origins and explored problems in race, communication, sexual
and family relations, religion, popular culture, landscape, and more recently, the
upper class. The final chapter explains Banks's unique vision of American history
and liberty
