Fellow's debut novel launched at College

The debut novel by Dr Ewan Jones, Downing Fellow in English, was officially launched on 2 November, in the Heong Gallery.

The novel Clinical Intimacy was written under Dr Jones’ birth name Ewan Gass. It explores the life of one man, referred to as ‘S’, through a patchwork of relationships. In interviews with each of these relationships – friends, lovers, clients and his immediate family – a picture of this ordinary yet extraordinary man begins to form.

Through the intimate snapshots of ‘S’, Clinical Intimacy explores the emotional conditions and moral consequences of a life lived in service to others.

The book was published by Penguin Doubleday and is available in hardback, paperback and ebook format. Information on retailers selling copies can be found here.

Dr Ewan Jones stated: "It was an honour to be able to present my work in this unique space, where different artistic media and communities come together."
