The Griffin & Sabine Stamps In Fiction Part II of II

Publishers Weekly had this to say about Griffin & Sabine: An Extraordinary Correspondence: “This singular, magical volume invites readers to examine handmade postcards and open colorful envelopes as they eavesdrop on 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.”

The first installation of the trilogy reveals a seemingly psychic connection between the two characters--a connection so strong that it causes Griffin to doubt whether Sabine even exists…along with questioning his own sanity.

The second book of the series, Sabine’s Notebook, adds Sabine’s sketches in between the correspondence that follows Griffin as he travels around the world. He is in search of scenery that will help him access his inner worlds, with the intent of finally meeting Sabine in person. In the meantime, Sabine has arrived in London with a similar intent only to find that their separation will continue to deepen each one’s longing for and understanding of the other.

In the final book of the series, The Golden Mean, the mystery deepens and a new challenge arrives in the form a menacing man interested in their telepathic connection. The two decide to meet someplace in the world between their
homes, but then nothing is heard from them for years...until another mysterious postcard is sent, beginning a new series known as the Morning Star Trilogy.

And through it all, the reader learns what it would be like to have what some might consider a dream job: to be an artist who designs and creates postage stamps for a living!
