the kind of man who makes many feel ill with envy. He works three, maybe four months a year, but his annual novel invariably hits the bestseller list at launch, making him wealthy enough to spend the rest of the year doing what the hell he wants.

In this circle, Banks is feted for being witty, generous, self-deprecating, and otherwise wonderful company.And he's "one of Britain's most prominent and prolific writers" (Spike Magazine).
