Iain Banks – Look To Windward – First Edition 2000
£45.00
A first edition, first printing of Look to Windward by Iain M Banks, published by Orbit, London in 2000. A very good copy free from internal inscriptions, light bumping to the spine tips, bumping to the upper corner of front board and toning to the text block. In a similarly very good unclipped wrapper with bumping to spine tips and chipping to the upper corners of knuckles of front and rear flap folds.
Look to Windward is Iain M. Banks’s sixth Culture novel, a sombre, elegant work about guilt, revenge and civilizational consequence. Set largely on the vast orbital Masaq’ Hub, it follows the aftermath of a disastrous Culture intervention that helped trigger mass death in the Chelgrian civilization. As emissaries, artists and hidden agents converge, Banks combines grand space-opera spectacle with grief, politics and moral ambiguity, asking what responsibility a utopia bears for its mistakes.
