Ewan Morrison is the author of three novels and a collection of short stories, winning a Scottish Arts Council Award in 2005. He lives in Glasgow.
The whole of Close Your Eyes is an admirable and intimate wrestling
with the damages incurred by trying to heal, as Adorno once called
modernity, "a damaged life"...anyone wanting to read a wise,
emotionally literate gauge of the burdens - and blarney - of
alternative living should buy it immediately.
*Independent*
In Close Your Eyes, Ewan Morrison carries off the compelling
second-person voice brilliantly...the novel is beautifully set to a
soundtrack of Rowan’s childhood.
*Times Literary Supplement*
An insightful tale of a brave new world revisited.
*Sunday Times*
Beautiful. Haunting. If Ewan Morrison was a woman, Close Your Eyes
would be destined for the Orange Prize shortlist.
*Helen Walsh*
A brave, sensitive, painful novel, Close Your Eyes is an
alternative history of the last forty years, an exploration of the
damage idealistic, well-intentioned parents can do to their
children, and a reminder that it is sometimes the people who are
absent who really fill our lives.
