Irwin Shaw (February 27, 1913 – May 16, 1984) was an American playwright, screenwriter, novelist, and short-story author whose written works have sold more than 14 million copies.
 He is best known for two of his novels: "The Young Lions" (1948), about the fate of three soldiers during World War II, made into a film of the same name starring Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift, and "Rich Man, Poor Man" (1970), about the fate of three siblings after World War II, that was made into a popular miniseries starring Nick Nolte.
 Though Shaw's work received widespread critical acclaim, the success of his commercial fiction ultimately diminished his literary reputation.
The Wasp Factory is the first novel by Scottish writer Iain Banks, published in 1984.
 Before the publication of "The Wasp Factory," Banks had written several science fiction novels that had not been accepted for publication.
 Banks decided to try a more mainstream novel in the hopes that it would be more readily accepted, and wrote about a psychopathic teenager living on a remote Scottish island.
 According to Banks, this allowed him to treat the story as something resembling science fiction – the island could be envisaged as a planet, and Frank, the protagonist, almost as an alien.
 Following the publication and success of "The Wasp Factory", Banks began to write full-time and would go on to write several more novels before his death in 2013, including several acclaimed science fiction novels that formed the Culture series.

 The title is taken from the nursery rhyme "Tinker, Tailor".
 The novel was adapted into a 1976 miniseries.
