Have you ever read a book and thought maybe you weren't smart enough to "get" the subtext? That's how I felt about this one.
At face value, it's a story of a rat who's too smart for his own good. Born in a bookstore basement, Firmin begins chewing on the edges of books. Soon, he's reading the books - consuming them in a different manner.
On a deeper level, I'm sure this book is really an ode to the desperation of our own lives and the denegration of popular culture. But it makes my head hurt to consider it.
