Firmin: Adventures of a Metropolitan Lowlife by Sam Savage

4.0

I mostly bought the book because of the cover design. I had honestly expected for it to be sort of a sweet story and an easy read. It wasn’t. I had stop at many sentences and just think about what I had just read. Fermin has a voice that belongs to all semi-crazy fucked up protagonists, in my opinion. He wines about all the same things, being left out, failing relationships because of a different image of the other person, and so on.
There is one freakishly cute feature of Fermin’s brain that I believe mine has too, the property of giving situations “names” or “titles”. I do it without thinking about it. I guess it happens to people who are used to think with words.
