LATITUDE FESTIVAL

HENHAM PARK, SOUTHWOLD,
SUNRISE COAST, SUFFOLK
As Iain Banks he writes transgressional fiction, a genre that features a main protagonist trying to escape from the confines and expectations of society. Known for acclaimed works such as The Crow Road and The Wasp Factory.
As Iain M. Banks he writes science fiction, and much of it deals with a vast interstellar civilisation, the Culture, which he has developed in some detail over the course of six novels and a number of short stories, including Consider Phlebas and Look to Windward.
His latest novel, The Steep Approach To Garbadale, is set to rival his most accomplished book The Crow Road in his return to form with high drama and extremes of human emotions.
'Nobody can evoke the mindset of a self-obsessed, sexually active, mildly philosophical bloke as convincingly as Banks, and it's terrific to have him back, firing on all cylinders like one of his beloved chipped BMWs.' Sunday Herald.
Iain Banks joins the Vox N'Roll line up in the Literary Arena.
Since 1996 Vox ‘n’ Roll has been promoting an eclectic range of literary talent in London venues and British literary festivals. The events have been described by The Guardian as “the best literary evening in London” while The Independent described it as “the grooviest literary salon in London.”
This year, Vox ‘n’ Roll returns to Latitude with readings from big name authors and rock ‘n’ roll writers plus forums and discussions on music, albums, gigs, and the industry at large over the festival weekend.
