A review by amotisse
The Peculiar Life of a Lonely Postman by Denis Thériault

4.0

Once agin I find myself fascinated by a story that revolves around the exchange of letters, to be precise, haiku in this case.

Take a small moment
Written with ink on the page
Captured forever

These wonderful little poems are like Polaroid snapshots full of the feeling and emotion of the moment and are lovely to experiment with.

Our lonely postman takes his experimenting somewhat further, indulging in forbidden acts and getting himself caught up in the consequences.
In fact there is a poetical sadness to him, his daily routines, his life,
and yet, his actions lead him to a higher level of being.

Thoughts to ponder on.

If I had been more observant, I would have found a copy of this in French to read...perhaps the next one.
