Published as the first Concord Free Press novel, Give + Take is now out in commercial editions throughout the world.

“Give + Take is a smart and original novel that flies from beginning to end. Its voice is both seductive and addictive. A real discovery.” – Richard Price

“Fitch deftly juggles big questions about how to live your life with a page-turning plot that would be the envy of many conventional thriller writers.”
- Doug Johnstone, The Scotsman

“An epoch-defining parable.” – The Washington Post

“Wickedly funny, Give + Take is a virtuoso novel, one whose heart beats loudly and with its own beautifully idiosyncratic rhythms.” - Megan Abbott

“It is pure wicked fun, falling in with the players and scammers of Give + Take.”
- Jess Walter

Two warring guilds struggle to survive in a world where natural disaster has become commonplace. Picking up where A Clockwork Orange and On The Beach left off, Printer’s Devil searches for remnants of humanity in an extreme post-apocalyptic landscape. A fable in the spirit of Coetzee’s Waiting for the Barbarians, Printer’s Devil is a meditation on power and its abuses that echoes with disturbing parallels to the present.

“A wonderfully dark, dystopian tale set in a world where excessive consumerism has led to an environmental collapse.”
- The Independent on Sunday

“Compulsively readable but also incredibly thought-provoking, thrilling but also highly perceptive, this is everything a modern novel should be." - The List

“A bleak and disturbing tale. Right from the opening torture scene you are knocked sideways and never really given the chance to recover."
- Scott Pack, The Friday Project

“With its abuses of power, violence, and its own language, Printer’s Devil naturally draws comparisons to A Clockwork Orange.” - Newham Recorder

Senseless is a literary thriller about torture, guilt, and moral ambiguity. Critics have called it the most disturbing novel ever written. Eliott Gast, a middle-aged American economist, is abducted in Brussels by a shadowy anti-globalization group. He spends forty days in a white apartment, questioned and tortured by his captors, every moment broadcast on the Internet. His mind racing, Gast tries to explain why he is here, unearthing sins both small and large. Originally published in the U.S. days after the 9/11 attacks, Senseless is a cult classic that continues to resonate internationally and has been made into a UK feature film.

“Startling in conception and disturbing in what it says about our times.”
- J. M. Coetzee

“Small like a stick of dynamite.” - Publishers Weekly

“Kafka in overdrive.” - Cincinnati Enquirer

“Combines the taut plotline of a made-for-TV thriller with the ruminations of a sophisticated literary novella.” - Carlin Romano, Philadelphia Inquirer
