David Race Bannon or David Dilley Bannon (born David Wayne Dilley; April 22, 1963) is an American author, lecturer, curator and translator, best known for the books Race Against Evil, Elements of Subtitles and Wounded in Spirit.

He has also written in Korean. His original Korean-language poems and translations of Korean poetry and spirituality texts have appeared in consumer magazines, trade publications and academic journals. Bannon has also published two collections of the writings of Korean Zen master Bopjong.

Change of name

Bannon adopted his new name, David Race Bannon, from a character on 60s animated television show Jonny Quest. The charges levelled against him asserted that he created a fraudulent personal history, including being an Interpol agent - the subject of his book Race Against Evil - and that he earned fees for training and speaking engagements on the basis of this history.
