The Worms Can Carry Me To Heaven by Alan Warner
This book, his fifth novel, is a step change from his previous novels into a more experimental style which seems autobiographical in its detail switching between different times of his(?) life in Spain and his 'Home City' - never named but could be Malaga?. Warner is best known for his first novel, Morvern Callar (1996), after it was made into a movie in 2003 by British director Lynne Ramsay (also made Ratcatcher) starring Samantha Morton. Warner was chosen as a Granta Best of Young British Novelists in 2003.

New Steve Waters’ play The Unthinkable opens

Steve Waters has been quietly working on a new play. He’s a regular visitor to the Library, but he kept this new work very quiet until we saw him at coffee the other morning.

The new play, The Unthinkable, opens at the Sheffield Crucible on Thursday 21 October for a three week run. Briefly, five founding members of a political thinktank meet to celebrate 15 successful years but a scandal is about to break… Let’s hope it moves to the West End, like his last play, World Music.

Related to the new play, Steve wrote this piece in The Guardian in August.

The press night is next Tuesday (26 October), Steve told us, so watch out for the reviews next week.
