review 1: The lonely Quebecois postman does not just deliver letters, he steams them open and reads them first. He becomes obsessed with one set of correspondence in the form of a series of haiku. He eschews the chance of a life of his own to live another's.This is an unusual story about loneliness, fantasy, Japanese poetry and the enso, a circular motif which encompasses the narrative. The ending is the beginning. Is this zen or is it just a good little story?
review 2: I have mixed feelings about this novel. The idea is lovely, and Bilodo's loneliness is a beast. The writing is beautiful, the haikus lovely but I sometimes felt a cold disconnect, which is strange with such emotional writing. It certainly didn't change my enjoyment of the story, and I was captivated. It ... moreis, much like the title, peculiar. I think that it's poetic and lovely, but isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea. Deception for love isn't a new theme, and you can't help but understand why Bilodo's desires force him to scheme. It's tender, funny and terrible all at once. I have a soft spot for strange and the novel is a strange experience. less
