In the basement of a Boston bookstore, Firmin is born in a shredded copy Finnegans Wake, nurtured on a diet of Zane Grey, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, and Jane Eyre (which tastes a lot like lettuce). While his twelve siblings gnaw these books obliviously, for Firmin the words, thoughts, deeds, and hopes—all the literature he consumes—soon consume him. Emboldened by reading, intoxicated by curiosity, foraging for food, Firmin ventures out of his bookstore sanctuary, carrying with him all the yearnings and failings of humanity itself. It’s a lot to ask of a rat—especially when his home is on the verge of annihilation.
A novel that is by turns hilarious, tragic, and hopeful, Firmin is a masterpiece of literary imagination. For here, a tender soul, a vagabond and philosopher, struggles with mortality and meaning—in a tale for anyone who has ever feasted on a book…and then had to turn the final page.

評分书虫的故事《书虫小鼠》 《书虫小鼠》刚一出版,我就看到了,挺有趣的,写的是一个小老鼠变成了一个书虫的故事。其实书虫就是作者本人,一个网络时代濒临灭绝的稀有动物。作者美国人萨姆·萨维奇,1940年出生,今年已经有73岁了,你想象不到吧,这本刚刚出版的《书虫小鼠》...
評分看到《书虫小鼠》第二十九页上的那句,“他们没给我留点,当我赶上去时,只有一片生菜叶了。它尝起来有股《简•爱》的味道”,我被这本小书给逗乐了。 实话实说,对于不从事文学相关领域工作的读者来说,这本书并不是什么特别通俗的读物。刚开始作者唠唠叨叨讲了半...
