GIVE AND TAKE
Book ID/图书代码： 06920508B29472
English Summary/英文概要： “Yes, I steal. I make no apologies for it. Stealing is unimportant. But what you do with the money makes all the difference in the world.”
Ross Clifton is a brilliant jazz pianist – and an even more talented thief. He steals millions of dollars in diamonds and BMWs and gives all the money away. But his life as a latter-day Robin Hood is about to come to an abrupt end. Fast, funny and felonious, Give And Take takes you on an economic shakedown cruise.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 「沒錯！我偷東西！但我並不認為應該道歉！偷竊不是問題所在，重要的是用這些換得的金錢為這世界做了哪些改變。」
Ross Clifton不僅是個傑出的爵士鋼琴家，也是天賦異稟的小偷，偷了上百萬的鑽石及名車，並將全部分送給窮人，他的作法有如現代羅賓漢Robin Hood，但真是如此嗎？至少，他不是我們所認識那種心地善良的人！他會這麼做似乎是為了某些目的而來？這些錢真的能為這些窮人帶來幸福的日子嗎？還是帶來更多的紛亂及不安？(VL)

‘…has an Elmore Leonard quality, slick and slightly nefarious characters sped along by lean prose.’---Los Angeles Times
‘A fresh, funny and deeply subversive novel from a writer with important things to say about our consumer culture’---Russell Banks羅素•班克斯 -《意外的春天》電影原著小說作者
"Wickedly funny, Give and Take is an unholy marriage of every American road narrative and the slyest moments of Thomas Pynchon. It’s a virtuoso novel--one whose heart beats loudly and with its own beautifully idiosyncratic rhythms."---Megan Abbott 麥根‧阿博特 - 2008年愛倫坡獎最佳平裝本原創小說《女王密碼》（Queenpin）的作者
About the Author/作者介绍： Stona Fitch lives with his family in Concord, Massachussets. His novels have been published in the US, UK, France and Germany. His second novel, Senseless, has been praised for anticipating violent anti-globalization protests, online hostages, and other political developments. Give+Take is his third novel, originally published by Concord Free Press in a limited edition of 1500 copies which were all given away entirely free! This has earned him the nickname ‘the Robin Hood of Publishing’, inspiring coverage in the LA Times and The Bookseller which in turn led to Thomas Dunne buying rights for a forthcoming hardcover edition, with Two Ravens to publish in the UK.Stona Fitch居住於美國麻薩諸塞州，之前出版過兩部小說，也都被翻譯成許多歐洲語言，其中第二部作品Senseless講述反全球化的抗爭更被讚譽有佳，第三部Give And Take作品起初是非營利的小出版社Concord Free Press（此出版社的出版品是免費贈送給讀者，目的希望讀者在收到書後能作一些捐獻給慈善機構。http://www.concordfreepress.com/）發行1500冊，但由於一推出讀者便搶購一空，又經美國「洛杉磯時報」LA Times及英國「書商週刊」The Bookseller報導後，馬上洛陽紙貴，隨即售出英美版權。
