Description
“Steps on Glass” is the second novel by one of the most outstanding writers of modern Britain. It is no less vivid than “Wasp Factory,” which sparked a storm of admiration and outrage.
The novel has three different plotlines that clearly don’t interact with each other—yet in the end they do converge, and how closely depends on how much the reader wants to see in this book.
Ian Banks himself said about “Steps on Glass” that it “doesn’t exactly do what it was planned to do, and I think you fail in some way if the reader can’t understand what you’re saying. Sometimes I worry that people will read ‘Steps on Glass’ and think I was trying to trick them in a sense, which I wasn’t doing.”
