The works of Scottish author Iain Banks (16 February 1954 – 9 June 2013) include many novels, two short story collections, and one non-fiction book, as well as several introductions to the works of other authors. His fiction is typically grouped into science fiction (SF) and non-SF;〔(【引用サイトリンク】) Banks">url=http://www.iain-banks.net/books/ )〕 for the former he is credited as Iain M. Banks, including the initial of his adopted middle name Menzies. In spite of this, the distinction is blurred for several works that mix elements of fantasy and realism; for instance, his 2009 novel ''Transition'' was published in the UK as Iain Banks, but in the US as Iain M. Banks. His fiction spans multiple genres, including the Gothic,〔 crime and ''Bildungsroman''; his works are sometimes stylistically experimental, and often contain dark humour and political sub-texts.〔 Bank's literary career began with the publication of ''The Wasp Factory'' in 1984, which is arguably still the work he is best known for.〔 His first sci-fi work is ''Consider Phlebas'', published in 1987, which also marked the beginning of the Culture series; these works concern a post-scarcity semi-anarchist utopia known as The Culture.〔 Originally posted on rec.arts.sf newsgroup.〕 The Culture series eventually consisted of nine novels and the short story collection ''The State of the Art'', the last entry being ''The Hydrogen Sonata'' published in 2012.〔 Banks' final work is the non-SF novel ''The Quarry'', was published posthumously in late June 2013. ==Non-SF works== Banks' non-SF work comprises fifteen novels and one non-fiction book. Many of his novels contain elements of autobiography, and feature various locations in his native Scotland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.iain-banks.net/2008/07/21/iain-banks-email-qa-july-2008/ )〕 ''Raw Spirit'' (subtitled ''In Search of the Perfect Dram'') is a travel book of Banks' visits to the distilleries of Scotland in search of the finest whisky, including his musings on other subjects such as cars and politics.
