A very good friend of mine from the states has just sent me the most marvellous book in the world ever. It's called Griffin and Sabine by Nick Bantock, and it's the story of a post card artist in England who gets post cards from a mysterious woman on a tropical island...basically the book's only a few pages long as it is all told on postcards and letters...it is wonderful because: The artwork is divine, a real joy to look at The book is about long distance friendships (and romances) developing via letters, quite a *sinister* thing to do I guess It really feels like you're reading other people's mail, always a slightly perverse thrill Apologies if this is old news, especially to US listees, but it really did blow my mind, and I've never seen it in this country. And I feel happy today because the sun was shining, and I had my sunroof open in the car, blasting out B&S as I sped along...bliss..
