Banks, Iain The Wasp Factory: A Novel
Simon & Schuster September 10, 1 0-684-85315-9 / 9780684853154 Paperback Very Good
"I had been making the rounds of the Sacrifice Poles the day we heard my br other had escaped. I already knew something was going to happen; the Factor y told me." Those lines begin one of the most infamous of contemporary Scottish novels. The narrator, Frank Cauldhame, is a weird teenager who lives on a tiny isl and connected to mainland Scotland by a bridge. He maintains grisly Sacrifi ce Poles to serve as his early warning system and deterrent against anyone who might invade his territory. Few novelists have ever burst onto the literary scene with as much controve rsy as Iain Banks in 1984. The Wasp Factory was reviled by many reviewers o n account of its violence and sadism, but applauded by others as a new and Scottish voice--that is, a departure from the English literary tradition. T he controversy is a bit puzzling in retrospect, because there is little to object to in this novel, if you're familiar with genre horror. The Wasp Factory is distinguished by an authentically felt and deftly written first-person style, delicious dark humor, a sense of the surreal, and a serious examination of the psyche of a childhood psychopath. Most readers will find that they sympathize with and even like Frank, despite his three murders (each of which is hilarious in an Edward Gorey fashion). It's a classic of contemporary horror.
