Antonio Skarmeta

When Mario becomes the postman for a small island just off the coast of Chile, he becomes friends with his only postal customer, the poet Pablo Neruda, and seeks his advice in wooing Beatriz, a young barmaid

Postman, The/ Il Postino

it's just as the author said it would be: enthusiastic in beginning, depressing at last. the last bit also actually bored me, maybe bcs i didn't like how it was told or how eroticism and politics took over the plot... the dramatic question was not also answered (at least i thought it wasnt), and i really got bored on the politics bit bcs i was expecting that it'll center on poetry and how it was told + what was discussed did not interest me. i really struggled + forced myself to finish this but i'm giving this 3 stars just bcs of the poetry bit.
