Descripción editorial

This book offers a detailed analysis of all mainstream novels of Iain Banks. It explores the question of mediation, the process of a semiotic (re)construction of the world on the part of Banks's characters, with reference to the four directions of fictional worldmodelling, i.e. the four types of relationship between the individual and the world established by the author's first novel, ‘The Wasp Factory’. In order to give justice to the extremely eclectic novelistic production of Iain Banks, the analysis of fifteen of his novels contained in the present study employs diverse interpretative «tools», fusing elements of various methodologies: structural-semiotic analysis supplemented by a mythographic approach along with psychological and gender specific theories. ‘Mediating the World in the Novels of Iain Banks: The Paradigms of Fiction’ thus develops a critical paradigm capable of uniting the extremely versatile mainstream production of this Scottish writer.
