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

It seems that we have SCOPUS!

SCOPUS logo
After a trial during the spring, and then nothing, suddenly we appear to be subscribed to SCOPUS, Elsevier’s massive bibliographic database. Larger than Web of Science or any other database of ite kind. There is even an ‘ejournals@cambrigde’ icon to highjlight resources which to which we have full text online access: flickr. However, I could not make it work!
One important limitation of SCOPUS is that nothing prioir to 1996 is inclueded in the database - so you will have to switch to another database for older references.
