Scottish fiction and sci-fi [M] writer Iain Banks passed away Sunday after
being diagnosed with
cancer this April. His books include The Wasp Factory, The Crow Road, Complicity, and
the Culture series.
Fellow author, Neil Gaiman blogged yesterday,
“If you've never read any of his books, read one of his books. Then read
another. Even the bad ones were good, and the good ones were astonishing.” Banks' final book, The Quarry, is
scheduled to be released late this month. Many of Banks’ books are in the AFPL collection.
