ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Iain Banks' "The Wasp Factory" immerses the reader in the singular world of sixteen-year-old Frank Cauldhame, residing on a remote Scottish island with his father. Frank, by his own admission, has a history of violent acts against his younger relatives. His days are governed by strange rituals involving 'Sacrifice Poles' and a complex contraption known as the 'Wasp Factory'. The anticipated return of Frank's unstable brother, Eric, who has escaped from a hospital, casts a shadow over Frank's carefully constructed reality. The narrative explores themes of isolation, the protagonist's unsettling perception of reality, and the looming disruption of his unusual existence by his returning sibling.
