In 'A Permanent Member of the Family,' Russell Banks explores moving forward, to the narrowing of life. There's a reflective quality, a sense of consequence to these masterly stories.
When we think of Russell Banks, what comes to mind are the novels: "Continental Drift," "The Sweet Hereafter," "Cloudsplitter," "Rule of the Bone." These are ambitious books, dealing with politics and history, the aftermath of tragedy, the specter of drugs and sexual abuse.
