(P/B) THE PECULIAR LIFE OF A LONELY POSTMAN

Παρουσίαση

A truly original novel centering on obsession, loneliness and the unlikely but beautiful art of haiku writing.
Bilodo lives a solitary daily life, routinely completing his post round every day and returning to his empty Montreal apartment. But he has taken to stealing people's post, steaming open the envelopes and reading the letters inside.
Segolene corresponds with the master poet Gaston, and their letters are composed of only haiku. The simplicity and elegance of their poems move Bilodo and he begins to fall in love with her.
One day Gaston dies after being hit by a car and faced with the prospect of continuing a life without his beloved's poetry, Bilodo decides to impersonate Gaston and continue to write to Segolene himself. But how long can such a deception endure? (From the publisher)
