Sabine introduces herself to Griffin with a note congratulating him on a design on one of the postcards he illustrates--and alluding to an alteration he made during the creative process. Perplexed because he works alone and discusses his creative dilemmas with no one, he responds, begging her to enlighten him as to how she knew about the original design. In her next missive, she admits, "I share your sight," and their correspondence grows increasingly intimate. Sabine continues to make psychic observations and beckons to Griffin from her atoll; Griffin fantasizes about her to escape his drab existence, his interest turning to obsession. Their personalities shine through both their art and penmanship: Griffin's faintly disturbing, often subliminally violent collages, blocky printed words and imperfectly typewritten pages contrast with Sabine's whimsical doodles, fanciful postage stamps and flowing, calligraphic script. 981140 1991 Griffin & Sabine - An Extraordinary Correspondence total:3315|5:1638|4:1137|3:434|2:89|1:17| 3315 14235 3888 314 4 3 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 06:32:54 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 10 08:30:46 -0700 2009 Griffin and Sabine is a memorable experience.
