Iain (M.) Banks (1954-2013)

       As widely reported, author Iain (M.) Banks has passed away; see, for example, the obituaries at the BBC and The Guardian, or tributes such as those in The Telegraph by Tom Chivers (Iain Banks was two of our finest writers) and Jake Kerridge (Iain Banks: an honest, funny and compassionate writer who beguiled 21st-century readers).
       The only one of his books under review at the complete review is The Business, but I've enjoyed quite a few others over the years.
