«El lamento del perezoso» is the tragicomic novel by Sam Savage, published by Seix Barral in paperback (272 pages, in Spanish).
Andrew Whittaker watches his life fall apart: his literary magazine is bankrupt, his building is crumbling, and his wife has left him. Without giving up, he writes ceaselessly—letters, lists, and sketches. From those four months of texts emerges an endearing visionary, a contemporary Quixote who uses writing to overcome loneliness.
Translation by Ramón Buenaventura of the original novel 'The Cry of the Sloth', published in 2009 in the Biblioteca Formentor collection.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction and for those who enjoyed 'Firmin', Sam Savage's first novel.
Samuel Phillips Savage was an American novelist and poet, best known for his 2006 novel Firmin: Adventures of a Metropolitan Lowlife. Other published works are The Cry of the Sloth, The Criminal Life of Effie O, and Glass.
