I missed this news until today.
It's too horrible.
The culture is one of my favorite escapes.
The Bridge, The Crow Road, The Wasp Factory... the man is brilliant.
I am so sad to learn that he is leaving us soon.

Scottish author Iain Banks has said the messages of support he has received from fans since announcing he has terminal cancer have been "astounding".
On 3 April, the writer announced he was suffering from gall bladder cancer, saying it was "extremely unlikely I'll live beyond a year".
Gee that sucks.
He writes great space opera, and The Wasp Factory was interesting, creepy read.
