Iain Banks's Use of the Gothic
Original language description
The paper explores Iain Banks's contribution to contemporary Scottish Gothic. It discusses some of his mainstream fiction (as opposed to his science-fiction novels) and its development over more than a decade, from his cult novel The Wasp Factory (1984)to A Song of Stone (1997). Banks is one of the most important authors of contemporary Scottish Gothic, and his novels are of exceptional quality. With their focus on dark family secrets and oppressing locales, they resonate with some of the features of the traditional Gothic, but his use of realism ultimately undermines the genre. The purpose of this paper is to situate Banks's work in the context of contemporary Scottish literature and to explain his innovative attitude towards the Gothic tradition
