>Hello,
>  I'm a librarian in Wisconsin and I'd appreciate any
>tips to help me find a novel that a customer checked out
>from a public library sometime ago. Unfortunately I have
>no info. on author or title. I think it was probably published
>in the '80s or early nineties.
>The plot is about a man who's obsessed with Edgar Allen Poe or
>thinks he is the reincarnation of Poe. He embarks on
>a journey to Poe landmarks. Eventually, it's revealed that
>the man has this obsession because he's trying to escape
>the traumatic history of his real life. Thanks for your help.
