The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks
The polarizing literary debut by Scottish author Ian Banks, The Wasp Factory is the bizarre, imaginative, disturbing, and darkly comic look into the mind of a child psychopath.Meet Frank Cauldhame. Just sixteen, and unconventional to say the least:
Two years after I killed Blyth I murdered my young brother Paul, for quite different and more fundamental reasons than I'd disposed of Blyth, and then a year after that I did for my young cousin Esmerelda, more or less on a whim.
That's my score to date. Three. I haven't killed anybody for years, and don't intend to ever again.
It was just a stage I was going through.
Consider Phlebas, Excession, and Inversions were among the highly appreciated works written by Banks (1954-2013), one of the most prominent science fiction authors in the United Kingdom. He also authored mainstream fiction under the name Iain Banks, including The Wasp Factory and A Song of Stone.
