This morning I read on Ken MacLeod’s Twitter that writer Iain Banks has terminal cancer and may only have a few months left to live. Unlike early Banks fans, I stumbled upon his books after first reading MacLeod’s fiction, not the other way around. In the late 1990s I picked up Feersum Endjinn and was simply blown away. His style is impeccable, his imagination visionary. Look to Windward, The Use of Weapons, Matter, Inversions, many more brilliant books. I’ve read only one of his non-sf books under Iain Banks, as they are next to impossible to find in the US. I expected he would continue to write for years to come, and the news he may be working on his last novel is distressing and depressing. Once again there is no fairness in the world.
