I loved Iain Banks's "A Song of Stone" for its beautiful and evocative prose.

One of my favorite descriptions on page 70: "The lithe trout's body, a single fluid muscle wrapped in rainbow tissue, stays inflexible as bone."

Page 70 of Iain Banks's "A Song of Stone" highlighted passage: "The lithe trout's body, a single fluid muscle wrapped in rainbow tissue, stays inflexible as bone."

@JesseRowell While primarily outside of my area of study (most of his SF appeared after 1985), what I have read of his has appealed -- The Wasp Factory for example. I do wish I had discovered him when I read SF more widely (i.e. my late teens).

Those sure look like Jim Burns art.

@JoshuaACNewman Maybe. I just follow whatever isfdb.org says... and unless there's definitive proof, they won't change an entry.
