«Firmin» is a novel by Sam Savage, published by Seix Barral in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
A rat born in the basement of a Boston bookshop in the sixties, Firmin learns to read by devouring pages. Culture makes him lonely and marginalised, so he seeks friendship with the bookseller and a failed writer. His passion for books awakens human emotions and fears in him; a fable about redemption and the power of literature.
Part of the Biblioteca Formentor collection; Sam Savage's first novel, translated by Ramón Buenaventura and illustrated by Fernando Krahn.
For readers of literary fiction and for those who enjoy stories about books and reading.
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.
