Iain Banks

Desperately sad news, delivered with his typical black humour and optimism: http://www.littlebrown.co.uk/a-personal-statment-iain-banks.page

The only writer who has ever created a decent utopia, in the Culture novels - or at least one I would like to live in.  I simply don't know what to say - he says he probably won't last the year, so the last book will be The Quarry.  The best science fiction writer I have read.
