Inversions made me reconsider what sort of intervention policies might be most functional. Its story also destroyed me emotionally for weeks, more on that to come.
Use of Weapons forced me to confront difficult philosophical and ethical questions, both highly personal and utilitarian in scope. Reading The Player of Games rewired the way I think about class and economics. It’s hard to overstate the impact his writing has had on me, the Culture novels in particular.
Roast me if you like.I often find it difficult to pick favorites, but when it comes to novelists it’s easy: Iain Banks, hands down, is my favorite. But nonetheless, i feel a bit like the invisible changes of perspective are a bit of a cheap one. OK, i think i realized during the writing of this, that this particular flashback was a memory of delirious Elethiomel. My question is, did i fall for Banks tricking me into thinking that Cheradenine caught the bone fragment while it always had been Elethiomel? Or how did he get Cheradenines scar and bone fragment?īecause those flashbacks before Cheradenines death, or at least most of them, are unequivocally from real Cheradenines perspective. A book i can recommend for people who enjoyed Use of Weapons. ( Something that very much reminded me of the Nazi-war-criminal Max Schulz becoming his new cover identity of Itzig Finkelstein to the extent of believing it himself in Edgar Hilsenraths The Nazi and the Barber. He actually seems to internally play his role to perfection as he never really breaks that role even inside his own head. One of the recurring themes with the protagonists is him carrying a part of his sisters pelvis near his heart.
Banks and i am not sure if i missed something. Final Spoiler Warning! Heed it wisely! I just finished Use of Weapons by Iain M.
