FFB-THE PECULIAR LIFE OF A LONELY POSTMAN, Denis Theriault

A charming novel about a postman who steams open letters he's delivering and one day comes upon one written to a woman in Guadeloupe. The letters between the two contain haiku and the postman begins to write haiku also. His poems gradually become stronger and he takes the place of the male correspondent when he is killed in an accident. An enjoyable book.
