The Business by Iain Banks
* Contemporary - and how! - novel by 'the most imaginative British novelist of his generation' - The Times
A poisoned bonbon, a bitter fairy tale.. Written with enormous energy, crunchy wit and more curves than an alpine road * Independent *
A highly inventive piece of work, amusing and sinister by turns... crammed with arresting conceits and surprises... any chapter of The Business, picked at random, will give an idea of Iain Bank's merits: the technical pizzazz, the profound compassion, above all an understanding of the way the world works ripe to confound the average English novelist who thinks that 'science' is simply a noisy irrelevance * Guardian *
It is impressive to find a British writer with such evident range... intellectually exhilarating * Observer *
Imagination, wit and complexity are Banks' hallmarks and The Business is no exception * The Times *
Eng. Lit. for the age of www * Independent on Sunday *
