Reserved Recommendations Episode 76 - Ross Palethorpe (The Wasp Factory)


Listen Later

Scottish author Iain Banks is probably best known (under the name Iain M. Banks) for his iconic Culture novels, which had a titanic impact on far-future "space-operatic" science fiction. His debut novel, 1984's "The Wasp Factory" is significantly less well-known. It is an INCREDIBLY divisive book which, love it or hate it (early editions published four full pages of both rabidly positive *and* negative reviews), will leave a massive impact on any reader.

CW for (not especially detailed) discussion of murder, animal abuse, child abuse and neglect.
Produced by Manawatū People's Radio with the support of New Zealand On Air.
