However, unlike other restaurants near the Young Research Library, Cafe 451 will be open the same hours as the library, including late nights and weekends, said deputy librarian Susan Parker. The cafe will be run through Associated Students UCLA, and will feature the same types of coffee, pastries and ready-made sandwiches as the other ASUCLA-run restaurants, said Cindy Bolton, director of food services at ASUCLA. Young Research Library pays homage to the author with a new restaurant, Cafe 451, which will be added to the main floor of the library.

Ghostland by edward parnell5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It is a unique and elegiac meditation on grief, memory and longing, and of the redemptive power of stories and nature. Ghostland is Parnell's moving exploration of what has haunted our writers and artists - and what is haunting him. Sebald's The Rings of Saturn and Graham Swift's Waterland to the archetypal 'folk horror' film The Wicker Man. James, Arthur Machen and Algernon Blackwood to the children's fantasy novels of Alan Garner and Susan Cooper from W. He explores how these landscapes conjured and shaped a kaleidoscopic spectrum of literature and cinema, from the ghost stories and weird fiction of M. In Ghostland, Parnell goes in search of the 'sequestered places' of the British Isles, our lonely moors, our moss-covered cemeteries, our stark shores and our folkloric woodlands. For comfort, he turned to his bookshelves, back to the ghost stories that obsessed him as a boy, and to the writers through the ages who have attempted to confront what comes after death. SHORTLISTED FOR THE PEN ACKERLEY PRIZE 2020 'A uniquely strange and wonderful work of literature' Philip Hoare 'An exciting new voice' Mark Cocker, author of Crow Country In his late thirties, Edward Parnell found himself trapped in the recurring nightmare of a family tragedy. ![]()
