Publié à l'aube du vingt et unième siècle, Mailman, road movie existentiel et méchamment drôle, marque la naissance d'une nouvelle révélation de la littérature américaine. Avec ce roman tendu comme un arc, J. Robert Lennon nous entraîne de New York à la Floride en passant par le Kazakhstan dans l'univers d'Albert Lippincott, dit Mailman. Facteur dévoué et maniaque d'une petite ville américaine, Mailman a ses petits secrets: l'habitude compulsive de photocopier et de lire le courrier des autres, une inquiétante dépression nerveuse et la relation tordue qu'il entretient avec sa sur. Aussi, lorsque l'un de ses usagers se suicide à cause d'une lettre retenue trop longtemps ? , les événements se précipitent pour Llippincott, qui va devoir faire face une fois pour toutes aux nombreuses fêlures de sa vie. Si Mailman est bien une comédie noire, c'est aussi l'ambitieuse tentative de dépeindre la destinée d'un homme à la recherche de la paix dans un pays «pétri de violence et de tristesse partagée». C'est comique et tragique à la fois. C'est dérangeant, c'est touchant. C'est la chronique survoltée d'un combat perdu d'avance. **Biographie de l'auteur Né en 1970, J. Robert Lennon suit une licence à l'Université de Pennsylvanie, qu'il termine avec succès en 1992 avant de continuer ses études à l'Université de Montana, où il obtient un Master en 1995. Deux ans plus tard, il publie son premier roman The Light of Falling Stars pour lequel il reçoit le prix Barnes and Noble du meilleur nouvel écrivain. Il publie six autres romans : The Funnies (1999), On the Night Plain (2001), Mailman (2004), Happyland (2006), Castle (2009) et Familiar (2012). Les droits de ses deuxième et quatrième romans ont été achetés pour être adaptés au grand écran. Lennon est également reconnu pour ses nouvelles. Il publie en 2005 Pieces for the Left Hand, recueil nominé au Story Award en 2010, et certaines de ses nouvelles sont publiées dans de prestigieux recueils : Prize Stories, 2000 : the O. Henry Award, Best American Short Stories 2005, Best American Nonrequired Reading 2011. Preuve de son succès, la série télévisée Unforgettable (avec Poppy Montgomery et Dylan Walsh) est inspirée de sa nouvelle « The Rememberer ». Il s'illustre aussi dans la poésie et donne de nombreuses conférences dans des universités américaines et dans le cadre d'évènements littéraires. Comptant plusieurs cordes à son arc, Lennon, sous le nom d'Inverse Room, s'essaye à la musique. Il sort trois albums : Simulacrum en 2002, Pieces for the Left Hand, complément de son recueil de nouvelles éponyme, en 2005, et American Recluse en 2007. En plus de sa carrière artistique, il enseigne l'écriture créative depuis 2005 à l'Université de Cornell à Ithaca, où il vit avec sa femme et ses enfants. J. Robert Lennon travaille actuellement sur un recueil de nouvelles, The Accursed Items and Other Stories, dont la publication est prévue pour 2014. Mailman sera porté à l'écran par Sam Mendes.
