Walking on Glass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Walking on Glass was the second novel by Scottish writer Iain Banks. Each part of Walking on Glass, apart from the last, is divided into three sections, which appear at first sight to be independent stories. It was keenly awaited after the critical acclaim for Banks' first novel, The Wasp Factory, and many critics felt that, although the structure was clever, the book was too much about structure and that the characters were inadequately developed. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Walking_on_Glass   (539 words)

CTV.ca | Walking on broken Glass Adam L. Penenberg and Chuck Lane aren't schmoozing the crowd as proficiently as the rest of the Hollywood players and movie industry wannabes, and the glittering parties of the Toronto International Film Festival are the clichéd million miles away from their real lives as tech writer and Washington Post staffer. Glass has long-since been busted for making up all or part of the facts in 27 of the 41 stories he wrote for The New Republic, as well as for fabricating details of articles he freelanced to magazines such as George, Harper's and Rolling Stone. And on the afternoon of the Canadian premiere of a movie telling his story (made without Glass' cooperation) Penenberg and Lane -- who are portrayed as Glass' nemeses -- find themselves on the opposite side of the interviewing process that they, as journalists, are used to. www.ctv.ca /servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1063337176286_49   (1207 words)

Walking on Glass Book at Shop Ireland Walking On Glass consists of 3 seemingly distinct storylines, whose characters never actually meet, but whose tales seem curiously linked. Walking on Glass offers no definite answers, but offers a dream-like state where the characters tales dance around one another in a hypnotic fashion.

Literary Encyclopedia: Walking on Glass Although Walking on Glass was Iain Banks’ next published manuscript, following the publication and success of The Wasp Factory, he had already written a draft of his first science-fiction novel, Consider Phlebas. Walking on Glass can be seen as the first of Iain Banks’ novels to trespass on the different forms of conventional fiction and science-fiction. Walking on Glass is composed of five parts and a concluding chapter, with each part containing contributions from the three principal narrators and the final chapter representing a summary. www.litencyc.com /php/sworks.php?rec=true&UID=8677   (539 words)

[Culture Shock] Reviews - Walking On Glass Even if you do not like it, Walking on glass is particularly interesting in the context of Banks' other work because it is a first outing for many ideas the author returns to frequently, particularly in the non-culture sf works. So Walking on Glass could be regarded as the first non-culture sf novel. In the end Walking on Glass is probably best thought of as an Iain (M.) Banks novel, leaving any crude attempt at broader categorisation where the author intends - in the bin. website.lineone.net /~rossyb/walkingonglass-im.html   (445 words)

New Haven Advocate: Walking on Broken Glass   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) In reviewing an enormous body of recent sociological and psychological data, Valian's project is threefold: First, she debunks the idea that genetic differences could account for the disparities in professional accomplishment between the sexes. Second, she crunches a heavy helping of statistics to prove that the glass ceiling in the professional workplace still exists -- that women's absence at the top can't be pinned on their recent arrival in the workplace or the time they take off to have kids. These are not only the women who have hit their heads against the glass ceiling. personals.newhavenadvocate.com /articles/brokenglass.html   (3667 words)

Blogcritics.org: Walking on Broken Glass The first story that was written by Glass to be initially uncovered by another organization was, it now seems, completely fabricated right down to a now outrageously simplistic fake business website. It cautions journalists against doing what Glass was so eager to do at the same time as reaffirming that the noble editor who helps to figure out Glass's lies is what is right with journalism. That Glass was able to fool so many of the journalists who are charged with uncovering the "truth" about news in general is disconcerting. blogcritics.org /archives/2003/12/01/020233.php   (1577 words)

Federal Baseball :: A Washington Nationals Blog I'm pretty open in my love for the original Die Hard---if Sleepless in Seattle is a "new classic," then John McClain's decidedly unsentimental journey through the Nakatomi Tower is Citizen Kane---and I think some of my love for it can be explained by its pedagogical value. Take the scene where John-boy is picking glass out of his feet while bearing his soul to Sergeant Al Powell over a walky-talky. They might not make sense, and we're not going to rationalize or rubber stamp all too often, but if the motivations are articulable then we have something with which to work. www.federalbaseball.com /story/2005/12/8/143729/329   (1662 words)
