Firmin by Sam Savage

Firmin is distraught. One of 13 children, he resides in an old book store in Boston's Scollay Square. His days are filled with reading everything and anything and watching old movies at the run down movie house (where the flicks become x rated after midnight). His only friend Jerry has died and the city is bulldozing down Scollay Square . What is a rat to do? Yes, Fermin is a rat and the narrator of this witty lit story. A fun and short read: only 164 pages.
