The Archivist

A debut novel about an archivist at a university, whose life contains many parallels to the life of the poet T. S. Eliot. When a graduate student requests access to letters written by Eliot to a woman in Boston, the archivist--whose wife committed suicide-- discovers things about his own past that lead to a renewal of his faith in life.
