Iain Banks' daring new novel opens in a loft apartment in the East
End, in a former factory due to be knocked down in a few days. Ken
Nott is a devoutly contrarian vaguely left wing radio shock-jock
living in London. After a wedding breakfast people start dropping
fruits from a balcony on to a deserted carpark ten storeys below,
then they start dropping other things; an old TV that doesn't work,
a blown loudspeaker, beanbags, other unwanted furniture...Then they
get carried away and start dropping things that are still working,
while wrecking the rest of the apartment. But mobile phones start
ringing and they're told to turn on a TV, because a plane has just
crashed into the World Trade Centre... At ease with the volatility
of modernity, Iain Banks is also our most accomplished literary
writer of narrative-driven adventure stories that never ignore the
injustices and moral conundrums of the real world. His new novel,
displays his trademark dark wit, buoyancy and momentum.
