Welcome to the official website of David Carrington – where potent storytelling confronts the complex intersection of institutional authority, individual defiance, and human frailty in its most desperate forms.

His recent novel, The Permanent Assurance, consists of gripping literary and commercial fiction about the incestuous Washington-Wall Street relationship, and those struggling to survive amidst the dysfunction it has produced. Carrington pulls readers into the web of fear, envy, lust, and loneliness behind boardroom decisions, then he unflinchingly depicts the disastrous results as they ripple across multiple continents.

Aside from its scathing social commentary and deep emotional poignancy, the novel is populated with a cast of unforgettable characters: from laughably inept office managers to a bigoted billionaire with presidential aspirations…from the novel’s narrator, Thomas Drake, restrained and reserved but traumatized by grief and self-hatred to his unexpected lover, Clarissa LaGrange, whose cold, ultra-professional mask conceals a strength unsurpassed by the misogynistic millionaires who oversee The Permanent Assurance, Inc.

If you’re drawn to alienated anti-heroes and strong female protagonists, dark humor and plot-driven action, look no further than The Permanent Assurance
