Shinichi's review of Griffin & Sabine - An Extraordinary Correspondence
Griffin & Sabine - An Extraordinary Correspondence by Nick Bantock
This is a very addictive book. Once I read one, I had to read all the sequels.
For anyone who likes artbooks or even literary work that integrates visuals, Nick Bantock's Griffin and Sabine is a must read. This brief epistolary novel consists of postcards and letters exchanged between the titular characters who create their own postcards. Griffin is a depressed artist living in London who one day receives a postcard from Sabine, who claims to have a special connection. As the story progresses, Griffin begins to feel intimate with his penpal, but isn't sure if Sabine is a real person.
Whether you're a post-card artist, book artist, or anyone else needing a source of inspirations, peruse and take in the correspondence between Griffin and Sabine. For those who love a good story, there's also a good, compelling narrative told by the text and the art.
