Into?

24-year-old Maine works a thankless graduate job, takes too many recreational and prescription drugs and spends too much of his wealthy parents' money. He finds a kindred spirit in Sadie, a rich American girl now living in London with her male model boyfriend, Guy. Disillusioned with the life they have chosen, Maine and Sadie attempt to escape the boredom of city life through decadence and excess. And Maine begins to fall in love. But when he is struck by a neurological disease, he is forced to question whether his lifestyle is actually causing the melancholy he's fighting.

Exit Through the Wound

Between London and Los Angeles, the gym and the gay scene, Instagram and Grindr, what it means to be a gay man has never been so bisected. North Morgan's third novel moves beyond the confines of fiction to examine how homosexuality's acceptance into society has created a new breed of demons for a generation of men born as outsiders yet living at the forefront of popular culture. Heartbreaking but never far from humour, Love Notes to Men Who Don't Read confirms Morgan's place as the leading interpreter of gay culture on either side of the Atlantic.

Love Notes to Men Who Don't Read

"You must read this now!" - The New York Times Book Review In Into? North Morgan shines a coolly mesmerizing light on the modern generation of gay men that are living firmly outside the closet, elevated by popular culture, but plagued by a new set of problems, insecurities and self-destructions. As the men of Into? swipe right from bed to bed, North Morgan spins a darkly hilarious, and shockingly perceptive story of excess and love that’s like nothing you’ve ever read. You know Konrad from your various social feeds – sun kissed, gym ripped and always having a better time than you. Or is he? Konrad Platt needed to get out of town. Heartbroken after his boyfriend left him for another man, Konrad abandoned his life in London for the warm sun and blue surf of LA. Here he attends parties in the Hollywood Hills filled with handsome men and beautiful women, snorts mountains of Adderall, and dances the weekends away at Coachella with each move endlessly documented on social media. He mends his broken heart through dating apps, constantly scrolling through profiles and chatting with a seemingly endless supply of men, each one handsomer than the last. But when one captures his heart, a twisted modern romance takes root that’s thrilling, confusing, and devastating – revealing that underneath this perfectly curated profile is a man desperate for real connection.
