About the book

Iain Banks's The Wasp Factory is narrated by Frank Cauldhame, a disturbed teenager living in isolation with his father on a remote Scottish island. Frank has created a private world of rituals, weapons and the mysterious Wasp Factory, through which he attempts to impose order on his surroundings. As news arrives that his institutionalised brother Eric has escaped, the novel builds an atmosphere of menace while exploring identity, family secrets, violence and unreliable narration.
