Rat is the story of Conrad who lives in 1980s Baltimore. He is the editor for a small publishing company and pretty much keeps to himself. That changes when he meets Calypso. Rat comes across as kind of out there at times but his internal monologue is super funny. I found him to be determined, lonely, dark, and very smart. The story really starts flying by as it goes and by the end, you are wanting more. That was my only complaint, it ended too abruptly. This author has a fantastic writing style and I look forward to reading more from them.

Rat
by Kevin Lavey
This was a very unusual book.
Conrad and Calypso’s whirlwind journey with a twist and maybe more. It was a book about how ratty tatty life for Conrad and maybe others can be. Maybe the rat in all of us is shown and we can relate.
