«Firmin» is the contemporary fiction novel by Sam Savage, published by Booket in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
The novel tells the story of Firmin, a rat born in a Boston bookstore during the sixties who learns to read by devouring the pages of books. His condition as a cultured rat makes him a solitary and marginalized creature, who seeks refuge in the friendship of a bookseller and a failed writer as he roams the city streets. His insatiable hunger for literature and his struggle to find love and understanding humanize him in a moving way, in a tale of black humor about the power of books and the search for identity.
Contemporary novel framed within literary fiction. The Booket edition, part of the Novela collection, was published on September 4, 2009 and has 224 pages.
For readers who enjoy stories about the power of literature, with animal protagonists and a melancholic and humorous tone.
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.
