Iain Banks strikes again. Fucking brilliant. A lesson in combining total apocalyptic chaos with introspective moments of poetic reflection.
(Yes i know that sounds dumb. Just read it.) |

Yeah, took me some time to realise that That's one of the great things of Iain Banks, he tries to make the reader personify him/herself with seriously fucked-up persons. The guy is brilliant.
Must be the first (and probably only) story written in the I-perspective in which the head character dies  |
