About me:


London Pub Reviews, published by Shoes With Rockets, features 44 reviews of London pubs, each of which ends in some form of disaster.


"This insane book is full of acutely observed details.." - Dazed & Confused


"Good comic writing is notoriously hard to achieve. 'London Pub Reviews' has at least three belly-laughs on every page - more than I can say for any recent novel.." - Time Out


"Paul Ewen may be mad...this tour of drinks and drunkenness gives a much more accurate impression of London pub life than some drab star-ratingy guide to ales and facilities." - David Quantick, The Word magazine


"'London Pub Reviews' is one of the best books about London we've read for some time...funny, informative, wholly original and wonderfully written." - Fridaycities London


"..the reviews are written by the kind of person Alan Partridge would describe as a mentalist...laugh out loud funny..." - Book Munch


"Paul Ewen is the funniest new writer I have read in years. Join him on his one man Campaign for Surreal Ale." - Toby Litt

"London Pub Reviews is a work of comic genius - this is essential reading for anybody who enjoys going to the pub. You, for example." - Dan Rhodes

"Paul Ewen has given voice to that perennial figure who haunts the margins of all our lives: the pub weirdo." - Tom McCarthy

"A surrealist's dream, a landlord's nightmare!" - Steven Hall

Paul Ewen's stories have also appeared in the British Council's New Writing 13 anthology, 3:AM's Edgier Waters anthology, Tank Magazine, the Times Higher Education Supplement, Scarecrow, Paris Bitter Hearts Pit, and in the forthcoming Offbeat Generation anthology.

    WORD MUSIC

    deadly silence got me low-down-hungry
    thinking about that hot-dog stand on the dismal corner
    beside the old beggar hand extended 16 year old
    virgin in hot-pants looking mad-bad-dangerous crimson
    fireball streaking across the sky middle-aged hooker
    front tooth missing she beckoning my weary ass
    one I love absent in world-gone-hungry
    Dixieland trio singing happy songs amidst angry
    downtown laughter low-down drug-mood feeding me blue
    music pornography rattling my brains wrap your
    lips around me back-alley broken hearts
    whiskey bottle-shards hitting the off-keys feel
    that fucked-up saxophone tickling your ribs
    atom-bomb-luvly feed me sin-soaked dead flowers
    on my grave warm kisses moonlight smiles
    her distant touch,
    her long-dead-musings,
    her love-gone-missing,
    her hips arching in the afternoon lust-dance,
    and your blue velvet beauty grinding away from me in
    the gutter-love sunlight…

    THANKS FOR ADDING ME!
