Welcome to this week’s Free Book Friday, wherein we give you the best titles in indie publishing for the low low price of nothing. Congrats to last week’s winner Mike W for snagging a copy of Love in Infant Monkeys by Lydia Millet.

This week, we are giving away a copy of The Withdrawal Method by Pasha Malla. The Withdrawal Method gives us worlds where Niagara Falls has run dry, where cream meant to curb skin cell rejuvenation can be purchased, and where ancient frustrated chess masters unwittingly invent machines that alter the course of history. Reminiscent of Lorrie Moore, Haruki Murakami, and George Saunders, these worlds are haunting, captivating, and constructed with a poise and precision that reaches beyond technical skill. You can read excerpts from Malla’s story “Pushing Oceans In and Pulling Oceans Out” on the Soft Skull Press website.
