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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Intense, glum and perverse

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

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

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

A daring, poetic, provocative, cleansing novel

I constantly find myself drooling with admiration at the sublime way Wodehouse plays with the English language

Quite simply, the master of comic writing at work

To pick up a Wodehouse novel is to find oneself in the presence of genius - no writer has ever given me so much pure enjoyment

Compulsory reading for anyone who has a pig, an aunt - or a sense of humour!

The Wodehouse wit should be registered at Police HQ as a chemical weapon

Witty and effortlessly fluid. His books are laugh-out-loud funny

The funniest writer ever to put words to paper

The greatest comic writer ever

P.G. Wodehouse wrote the best English comic novels of the century

Sublime comic genius
