«Firmin: autobiographie d'un grignoteur de livres» is the novel by Sam Savage published by Actes Sud in paperback, 201 pages, in French.
Firmin, a rat born in the basement of a Boston bookshop in the sixties, learns to read by devouring pages and becomes an erudite rodent. His passion for books clashes with the decay of Scollay Square and with the impossibility of communicating with humans, until a marginal writer rescues him from pessimism.
Part of the Babel collection from Actes Sud, with translation by Céline Leroy. French edition, published in 2010.
For readers of literary fiction who appreciate tributes to reading, humour and marginal characters.
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.
