Iain Banks – Look To Windward – SIGNED First Edition 2000
£185.00
A first edition, first printing of Look to Windward by Iain M Banks, published by Orbit, London in 2000. A fine copy signed by the author in blue ink to the title page, some light toning to top edge of text block. I a similarly near fine unclipped wrapper with fading to the spine and chipping to head of the spine.
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.
