"Paul Kincaid has done an admirable job with this book, presenting us with the first really comprehensive survey of Banks' work across all his literary modes. Insightful, detailed, fair-minded, as generous as it is bracingly honest, it's a work that demands the attention of anyone with a real interest in this much-beloved author."--Alastair Reynolds, author of
Poseidon's Wake"A thorough, focused, and very useful study of the works of Iain Banks . . . with the M and without the M!"--Gwyneth Jones, author of
Life"Kincaid's
Iain M. Banks is a significant and authoritative addition to these books that is likely to become a benchmark for Banks studies in the years ahead."--
Strange Horizons"Kincaid remains a masterful practitioner of the lost art of finely calibrated literary criticism . . . Kincaid is, unsurprisingly, both meticulous and astute."--
Science Fiction Studies"A warmly appreciative yet acutely critical survey, clear, concise, and well-judged."--Ken MacLeod, author of
The Corporation Wars: Insurgence"Kincaid's short
Ian M. Banks is admirable in the scope and depth of its explorations of Banks's many writerly projects." --
