Quatrième de couverture :
' Swing Hammer Swing! is a great novel' James Kelman
'A gamey, pungent, vulgar sprawl of a novel, somewhere in that hinterland where Damon Runyon meets James Joyce' Robert Carver, Observer
'This tale of a week in the life of Tam Clay, Gorbals slum-dweller, father-in-waiting, and wordsmith manque, is funny from beginning to end...As Tam stumbles through the drink-sodden world of the Gorbals underclass of the sixties, when a house in Castlemilk was an ambition, he embarks on a mini-odyssey of self-discovery while blinding the reader with literary legerdemain' Ian Black, The Herald
' Swing Hammer Swing!' is a seriously good novel. Critics have rightly claimed that he does for Glasgow what James Joyce did for Dublin' Stephen Pile, Daily Telegraph
'A crazily good read...this fantastic first novel' Miranda France, Scotland on Sunday

"A gamey, pungent, vulgar sprawl of a novel, somewhere in the hinterland where Damon Runyon meets James Joyce" (Observer)
"Swing Hammer Swing! is a great novel" (James Kelman)
"A crazily good read... this [is a] fantastic first novel" (Scotland on Sunday)
"It is such a good novel, with such energy of language and gift for striking off memorable scenes, that its appearance at any time would be welcomed . . . It prompts reflection on how much it would have benefited Scottish writers if 20 years ago a novel had been published with Jeff Torrington's absolute lack of compromise or temporising explanation in the use of Glasgow material and dialect" (The Scotsman)
"This might be the Gorbals, and the banter might be exchanged on the steps of tramp-haunted urinals, but the reference points are Nietzsche, Pascal, Chekhov and Sartre'" (Independent)
