Product Description

Product Description

As the remarkable fates of Griffin and Sabine are gradually revealed, we are introduced to Matthew and Isabella, long-distance lovers who find themselves entwined not only in each other's lives, but in an intrigue of mythic proportions. The correspondence of Griffin Moss and Sabine Strohem, at turns enigmatic, sumptuous, and romantic, reveals dangerous undercurrents and strange forces at work in the universe. These powers have only grown stronger with the couple's disappearance. Nothing is heard from them for quite some time, until Sabine asks Matthew Sedon, a young archaeologist working in Egypt, for help. As Matthew is reluctantly drawn into the intrigue, he finds encouragement from his strong-willed girlfriend, Isabella de Reims. Miles away in Paris, Isabella struggles with glimpses of fabled landscapes and vivid fantasias that come to her in waking dreams. Slowly Matthew and Isabella realize that to unlock this secret world is to open the door to their deepest yearnings. Author and artist Nick Bantock tells a story like no other: as you pull handwritten letters from stamped envelopes, the enchanting world of The Gryphon literally unfolds in your hands.

5.0 out of 5 stars A spiral, 27 Sep 2001
By andreaming "andreaming" (brooklyn, ny United States) - See all my reviews
Half way through this piece, I realized that Nick Bantock has accomplished what really separates artists from perhaps the rest of this sect- as we struggle to make it all fit and do so beautifully. I knew he had accomplished this because I was truely, remarkably baffled. I knew that I was experiencing a book that had reached a depth that even exceeds the artist's understanding of it. Just when I thought that he would never be able to pull this together, that he was beating a dead (but significantly successful) bush, he pulled the postcards and the words together in to pure poetry, of the most intimate sort. Earlier in the trilogy, the most exciting aspect was the idea that I was reading someone else's mail. His artwork has always held its own, but never has the writing brought it all together in the way it does in The Gryphon. To put it simply, he has taken beauty and translated it in to the actual experience of reading his book. A brave, accomplished fourth book, that easily stands on its own.
