Manolo Follano, a 40-year-old Spanish roué, has built a comfortable life for himself in his hometown by the sea. His architectural design company is thriving, his suits are Italian linen, his cigars Cuban, he's on friendly terms with his two ex-wives & happily free to enjoy the charms of women much younger. For a playboy like Manolo
- handsome, fastidious, opinionated & more than a little vain
- to be told by his doctor & friend that he is HIV Positive is, it would seem, the end of everything.

In Alan Warner's fifth novel, however, this devastating news is only the beginning. Manolo strolls around his familiar haunts recalling, with Proustian clarity, the loves of his life, as he prepares to tell each of them his terrible secret
- all the while bracing himself for the final reckoning, & the thin hope of redemption. In a series of vivid, erotic, hilarious flashbacks he plays back his life in glowing Techni
Colour: each wild & glorious set-piece building towards a complete picture of a life
- flawed, certainly, but passionate, richly imagined & deeply humane.

A novel of stunning visual invention that manages to be both provocative & profound, both shocking & riotously funny, The Worms Can Carry Me To Heaven is further proof of Alan Warner's prodigal gifts of spirit & imagination, & his position in the first rank of contemporary writers.
