Iain Banks: Friend of Jane

Standard

Author Iain Banks outs himself as a Janeite to the Guardian.

Talking of his habit for shock plot twists, he said: “There’s good provenance for this: Jane Austen was great at it. If it’s good enough for Jane Austen, it’s jolly well good enough for me. I worship at the woman’s feet.”

Oh, well, join the club.
