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.

University Library news + Resources

New online resource - Index Islamicus

News from Patricia Killiard (Head of Electronic Services and Systems at Cambridge University Library):

The University Library has held the Index Islamicus on CD-Rom for a number of years, having housed the Islamic Bibliography Unit which was responsible for its creation and maintenance. The Index Islamicus is now available online university-wide through Cambridge Scientific Abstracts or go to the Electronic Resources front page and search for ‘Index Islamicus’.

No passwords are required within the University [cam.ac.uk] domain but Athens passwords are required for off-campus access [note: Athens passwords can be obtained from the Library enquiry desk].

Also today, 24 January, all Cambridge Scientific Abstracts databases migrated to the new CSA Illumina interface.
