Nick Bantock writes and illustrates epistolary fiction in which letters, postcards, drawings and physical design are part of the narrative. Griffin & Sabine begins with artist Griffin Moss receiving a postcard from Sabine Strohem, a woman he has never met who somehow appears to know the images he is creating. Their correspondence becomes increasingly intimate and mysterious as the books ask whether Sabine is physically real, psychologically connected to Griffin or something harder to explain. The trilogy and later related volumes invite readers to remove letters from envelopes and inspect artwork embedded in the pages. Bantock's work sits between illustrated novel, correspondence fiction and book art, with tactile interaction central to the experience. Griffin & Sabine is the essential entry for readers interested in unusual book design, romantic mystery and stories told through objects rather than continuous prose. Read more Less
