Walking on Glass is the second novel by Scottish writer Iain Banks, published in 1985.

Walking on Glass is formed of three storylines that initially do not appear to be linked, but eventually come together.

The extent to which these stories are interconnected is dependent on how deeply into the book the reader is willing to read.

Each part of Walking on Glass, apart from the last, is divided into three sections, which appear at first sight to be independent stories.

I worry sometimes that people will read Walking on Glass and think in some way I was trying to fool them, which I wasn't.
