Iain M. Banks.
Also Iain Banks. One of his M-less books was on Play as an M and it's the only non-pew fiction I've read in a long time, but I actually finished it.
I remember reading an interview of his where he said he wrote his contemporary fiction in order to support his science fiction writing. Whilst they're still good novels, his regular works didn't have as much of his soul as his SF.
