- Nick Bantock was born in England. He went to school in the soulless suburbs of North East London, and from there he moved on to art college in the market town of Maidstone, Kent. At the age of 23, he gave up his job in a betting shop and began working as a freelance illustrator. Over the next 16 years, he produced covers for approximately 300 books, including novels by Philip Roth and John Updike. During the winter of 1988, he moved to Vancouver with his wife and young son. Two years later, he decided to try his hand at creating pop-up books, and the legend "Griffin and Sabine" was born.

The Venetian's Wife door Nick Bantock
Nick Bantock's illustrated novel, The Venetian's Wife, is part love story, part mystery, and part ghostly tale --and an altogether bewitching brew of sensuality and lost treasures. Thoroughly bored with her job at the local museum, Sarah heads to the gallery to take another look at that new drawing, the one she can't stop thinking about, the one of the Hindu god Shiva, who dances...That's when it all begins. The next day, an e-mail message brings her a job offer: to find the few remaining pieces of a 15th-century adventurer's renowned collection of Indian sculptures. Her employer, curiously, wishes to communicate only by computer. She has no idea who he is or why he wants her. But other mysteries soon preoccupy her, such as the meaning of an enigmatic illuminated manuscript -- and the sensual transformation that seems to be overtaking her. Through her quirkily decorated diary and the artful e-mail exchanges between Sara and her mentor, Nick Bantock has conjured up a richly illustrated tale of a relentless quest, an amorous legacy, and the resonating power of art -- a lush, romantic adventure of the soul that tantalizes the reader to the last line.?

Dit boek is een ander boekje dat ik gisteren tegenkwam. Ik had op internet al gelezen over een serie van 3 boekjes waaronder dit waarin twee vrouwen een correspondentie met elkaar onderhouden. De mensen op internet waren zeer enthousiast.
"De gulden middenweg" is het derde deel van een trilogie waarin Sabine en Griffin met elkaar corresponderen. De vorm van het boek is zeer origineel. Zo vind je een aantal beschilderde enveloppen met daarin een handgeschreven brief. Dit moet het idee opwekken dat je iemands correspondentie zit te lezen. De tekst van de brieven zelf is totaal oninteressant.
