«Firmin» is the novel by Sam Savage, published by Círculo de Lectores in 2008 in hardback (216 pages, in Spanish).
Firmin is a rat born in a second-hand bookshop in Boston who learns to read by eating books. The more he reads, the more isolated he feels from his family and other rats; he seeks human company in a bookseller and a science-fiction writer. A fable about loneliness, alienation and the power of literature.
With illustrated dust jacket, translated from the English by Ramón Buenaventura and illustrated by Fernando Krahn. The original English edition was published in 2006.
For readers of literary fiction who enjoy melancholy fables and stories about books and rats.
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.
