Katinka is in love with her mailman, so what's all the fuss and anguish about? Well, Katinka is a serious writer, a Radcliffe graduate, the ex-wife of an esteemed Joyce scholar, with a mother who cares more about a prospective suitor's academic pedigree than his potential to make her daughter happy. And the mailman is a sweetheart of a hunk who only finished high school, has no literary or other pretensions and still lives with his parents in a blue-collar Boston suburb. Mameve Medwed's charming novel of modern manners, "Mail" read by Annette O'Toole and Steven Weber, is quintessential summertime listening. It's light but right-on in its observations on life, love in the '90s and the eternal search for the mate who matters. Put this one in your beach bag, backpack or carry-on.
