Victor J. Banis

Victor J. Banis (born 1937) is an American author, often associated with the first wave of west coast gay writing. For his contributions he has been called "the godfather of modern popular gay fiction."〔Long, Thomas L. "Editor's Welcome: Short Shorts." Harrington Gay Men's Literary Quarterly, 8.3 (2006), page 2.〕 He is openly gay.
==Life==
Born in 1937 in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, Victor J. Banis was the tenth of eleven children born to William and Anna Banis. As a small child, Banis moved with his family to Eaton, Ohio, where he lived on a farm and finished high school in 1955. While still in grade school, he began writing Nancy Drew-inspired mysteries featuring his classmate Carol Peters, now the writer Carol Cail. In his memoirs he writes about growing up in severe poverty.〔Banis, Victor J. Spine Intact, Some Creases, edited by Fabio Cleto. Genova, Italy: ECIG, 2004, pages 17-19.〕
On his own, he lived for a brief time in Birmingham, Alabama, before moving to Dayton, Ohio, where he worked in sales and floral design. In 1960 he moved to Los Angeles, where he lived for 20 years and had his first literary success. He rapidly turned out a number of important novels, and he and his partner, Sam Dodson, collaborated on a number of nonfictional gay works as well as a few, generally insignificant novels. They also published magazines and edited for DSI, a Minneapolis publisher. Banis served as a tutor for various aspiring writers and acted as their de facto agent. He championed the early writing of mystery writer Joseph Hansen, among others.〔Banis, Victor J. Spine Intact, Some Creases, edited by Fabio Cleto. Genova, Italy: ECIG, 2004, pages 137-142.〕 In 1980, he moved to Big Bear in the San Bernardino Mountains, and then in 1985 to San Francisco, where he worked as a property manager. In 2004 he retired and took up residence in Martinsburg, West Virginia. There he returned to writing full-time.〔Banis, Victor J. ''The Golden Age of Gay Fiction.'' Edited by Drewey Wayne Gunn. Albion, New York: MLR Press, 2009, page 249.〕
