"Sad news, one of my favourite authors, Ian Banks has inoperable cancer and has about a year to live, promises one more book.
Loved most of his books"
The book is finished but the publishing date is being brought forward.
Very sad news but his sense of humour in his press release made me smile.
The Wasp Factory is a fantastic book but everything else has always been a little bit hit and miss in my opinion |

Is that because you read the Wasp Factory when you were much younger, as I did, and everyone was reading it? It was just one of those books. |

'Wasp Factory' not my favourite, that's 'Espedaire Street'
Loved the opening of 'The Crow Road'
"It was the day my Grandmother exploded..." (She was being cremated and her pacemaker had not been removed.
So many other great books 'Complicity' is another favourite. |

Good luck with that. Banks gallbladder cancer had spread and he has a tumour grouped round lots of blood vessels, it certainly was not caught in time.
Hope your partners has been caught in time and you have a much better outcome. |

Brill author, i've read many and still have many iain banks and iain m banks books. The only thing that stopped me having more is that so many get lent on to people, i never see them again lol. I have had to buy more than one copy of some books over the years in order to re-read what was lent out and travelled lol.  |
