Résumé
A misfit man finds a misfit dog. Ray, aged fifty-seven, "too old for starting over, too young for giving up", and One Eye, a vicious little bugger, smaller than expected, a good ratter. Both are accustomed to being alone, unloved, outcast - but they quickly find in each other a strange companionship. As spring turns to summer, their relationship grows and intensifies, until a savage act forces them to abandon the precarious life they'd established, and take to the road.
A wholly different kind of love story, Spill Simmer Falter Wither is a devastating portrait of loneliness and loss, and of the restorative power of friendship.

“ A life in permanent and self-imposed exile ”
At times, 'Spill Simmer Falter Wither' calls to mind an improbable collision between the universes of Proust and Beckett in contemporary rural Ireland. Even though the first person narrator, a middle aged misfit living in his deceased father's hovel, lacks the richness of Proust's social memories, he nevertheless manages to exhibit a rather lively mental existence nourished by the memory-charged objects around him. Sara Baume demonstrates her deep sense of psychology when the hermit's life of introspection is affected by his decision to adopt a one-eyed dog for companionship. Is One-Eye a potential source of salvation for the narrator or a liability ? The author keeps the reader guessing to the very end in her sensitive account of poor man's seemingly aimless journey with a most imperfect pet.
