Firmin by Mike Savage
Adventures of a Metropolitan Lowlife
Set in a dilapidated Boston bookstore, the story follows the life of a literate rat who, after consuming pages of classic literature, develops a profound understanding of human emotions and desires. As he navigates the complexities of his dual existence—caught between the world of humans and his own kind—he grapples with loneliness and the search for identity. Through his introspective musings and encounters with eccentric characters, the narrative explores themes of isolation, the power of literature, and the quest for belonging in a world that often overlooks the small and seemingly insignificant.
