Book Chewer Adventures

How was Sam Saffage able to give a paradise of books to a small rat named Fermin? And make this paradise in the lower part of a small library in Square in Boston? Fermin proceeds on the "One Thousand and One Nights" approach, extracting the story from the other, while tracking the life of a human friend he loves from one side because he sees him through the eyes of words, until he falls into the hands of another friend who saves him from death. How could it not be so, when the meeting is the meeting of the book rat, the encyclopedic reader, with the bohemian vagabond writer? The rat advances us in our worldly life as if he is leading us through the maze, with no guide but his madness and his passion for literature, books, and life. We have no clear direction, nor do the winds tell us the destination of our ships. All we know is that the succession of strange stories takes us away from the earth. It is a novel that causes a strange dizziness from which the lost one emerges certain of one thing: this maze has shown him the art that dwells within him, full of rejection and resistance.
