Swung

The best book on sex since John Updike's Couples. Ewan Morrison's brave, dirty, utterly honest account of the psychological side of swinging is a complete delight

Seedy and undeniably erotic, this is the best book on sex since John Updike's Couples

Glasgow writer Ewan Morrison takes on the mantle of responsibility of writing a serious book about sex and carries it off with great success. It's difficult to believe that Swung is his first novel. It boasts a narrative control and sureness of touch... that would induce envy in many more experienced novelists... Swung is a beautifully crafted, completely realised and often inspirational book. It announces Morrison as one of the most interesting and exciting voices to emerge in Scottish fiction in recent years

Irvine Welsh, Guardian

A very impressive first novel from a writer who will eventually go on to bigger and better things

Scotland on Sunday

Though sex is its language, this is a novel about ageing and settling and messing things up again, with heart enough to make it hurt

Hepzibah Anderson, Observer

As dirty a debut as Adam Thirlwell's brilliant Politics.... And just as funny and thought-provoking

Daily Sport

Swung is a book of real ambition, a wide ranging exploration of human needs that starts from the most unexpected of websites

Herald

Morrison writes about endless sex without missing a beat, partly because his warm, witty, poignant novel is as much about 21st-century consumption as its is consummation

Metro

What Morrison does is to re-establish an intimate bond between reader and character through a kind of sustained monologue

Time Out

Genuinely groundbreaking... Morrison is one of the most gifted and accomplished writers to have emerged in recent years

Irvine Welsh

Intense, glum and perverse
