Reminds me of "going postal" by terry pratchet. It's a fantasy book about a convicted criminal who has to rebuild the post office and they have this motif about what a strange and wondrous thing post offices really are and what letters and communication can mean to people.
Also they have a whole thing about how the word "angel" is a word for "messenger" and the book's insistance on bringing that up in relation to mailmen is as ridiculous as it is earnestly beautiful.
