«El lamento del perezoso» is the contemporary novel by Sam Savage, published by Booket in paperback (272 pages, in Spanish).
In 'El lamento del perezoso', Andrew Whittaker watches his life fall apart: his literary magazine is on the verge of bankruptcy, his building is falling to pieces, and his wife has left him. Andrew doesn't give up and writes non-stop for four months: novel sketches, rejection letters, absurd invitations, and shopping lists. The novel is made up of these texts and portrays a tireless dreamer chasing happiness amid the chaos.
This novel is the work of Sam Savage, author of 'Firmin'. It was published in 2009 as 'The Cry of the Sloth' and in Spanish in 2011, in Booket's Novela collection, translated by Ramón Buenaventura.
For lovers of contemporary fiction and literary humor, with nods to Don Quixote and a structure formed by the protagonist's writings.
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.
