Writers [on Writing]: Russell Banks

In his comical essay, Russell Banks uses a personal anecdote to convey the idea that we spin fiction all the time, even within our own memories.

"When you witness your distant past, your memory tends to improve."

Anthony Panegyres: Anthony Panegyres has had stories and novelettes appear in the The Best Australian Stories, two volumes of The Year's Best Australian Fantasy & Horror; Overland Literary Journal 204 (a story finalist for the Aurealis Award), Overland Literary Journal 214, Meanjin Quarterly; the award winning anthologies At the Edge and Bloodlines; and other places. Panegyres' latest new stories can be found in Bourbon Penn 25 and Bourbon Penn 31 (also a current Aurealis Award Finalist work). His works have been shortlisted for numerous awards and have also been included on numerous 'best of' anthology recommended reading lists, both nationally and internationally. Although primarily a fiction writer, Panegyres has also had non fiction published in Overland and Meanjin online, and The Guardian.
