Depression Meets Insanity

Griffin & Sabine illustrates an underlining problem of depression. I thought Nick Bantock tried to manipulate a different perception of loneliness and/or emptiness. I loved the creativity of the graphic illustrations on the front (and sometimes back) of the postcards. I thought, as the book progressed, the illustrations became ambiguously determined by the overwhelming feeling of distance vs desire. Over a period of time, Sabine expressed distance through her writing. However, in return Griffin tried to confide his depression over Vereker's death. Through his intense style of writing, Grifin shows an obsession of wanting to diminish his loneliness and support his emptiness. I think this subsequently determines the threatening ending of the book.
