he wrote a lot of regular ol fiction under iain banks as opposed to iain m. which is his scifi name. none of it is quite as good as wasp factory but he's a solid writer

just picked up crow road because i heard that's the next step after wasp, keeping fingers crossed

1q84 sucks compared to his other stories because it just feels like the same density as one of his normal books diluted to fill more pages imo. It's good, but get wind up bird or wild sheep chase or kafka on the shore first
