IAIN BANK's controversial and celebrated debut, The Wasp Factory, appeared in 1984. He is now renowned as one of the most powerful and original writers of his generation. His new novel, Stonemouth, is set in the criminal underworld of a Scottish estuary town.

"...one of the most able, energetic and stimulating writers we have." (Time Out)
