Two Iain Banks Novels Make Top 10 Scottish Books
Iain Banks’ books account for two of the top ten books Scottish novels of the last 50 years as voted by the public.
As part of Book Week Scotland 2013, The Scottish Books Trust conducted a poll to find the 10 Favourite Scottish Novels of the Last 50 Years. Members of the public were invited to visit the Book Week Scotland website to choose from a shortlist of 50 titles compiled by author and literary critic Stuart Kelly in collaboration with Scottish Book Trust. The shortlisted novels were carefully selected in an attempt to reflect the depth and breadth of the journey Scottish writing has taken over the last half century.
The Bridge by Iain Banks and Excession by Iain M Banks were both selected.
You can see the full shortlist on the Scottish Book Trust website.
