Sabine’s Notebook: In Which the Extraordinary Correspondence of Griffin and Sabine Continues

Sabine was supposed to be imaginary, a friend and lover that Griffin has created to soothe his loneliness. But she threatens to become embodied – to appear on his doorstep, in fact. The end of ‘Griffin and Sabine,’ the surprise bestseller of 1991, left readers on the edge of a precipice. With ‘Sabine’s Notebook’, they begin, with Griffin, the fall. Faced with the terrifying prospect of meeting his own fictional character, Griffin runs. His journey begins conventionally, tracing a course through Europe and the Mediterranean – but slowly Griffin begins to realize that he is travelling backward in time, drifting through layers of dead civilizations and his own soul. His precarious link to reality is the possibly unreal Sabine, who is living in his house in London and keeping a notebook of his letters and her responses. Once again, the story is told in strangely beautiful postcards and richly decorated letters that must actually be removed from their envolopes to be read. But ‘Sabine’s Notebook’ is also a sketchbook and a diary, filled with her delicately macabre drawings and notations, adding yet another layer to the visual intrigue that haunted readers of ‘Griffin and Sabine’ and welcoming new readers to an even more complex and mysterious world.Previous owners inscription on inside of title page
