The Golden Mean in Which the Extraordinary Correspondence of Griffin and Sabine Concludes

Since earning his PhD from the University of Waterloo in 1992, Andrew Thomson has taught Canadian history at several universities, most often at Wilfrid Laurier University. For the past 16 years, he has created and taught a wide range of Canadian history courses from the history of French Canada to Canadian business history. Dr. Thomson has written for The Dictionary of Canadian Biography and been a guest lecturer at Kitchener Public Library’s Ideas and Issues series. He has recently been an active instructor in the Lifelong Learning program at Wilfrid Laurier. Dr. Thomson is also the Academic Reviewer for the Business History section of the Administrative Sciences Association of Canada and also works with the Laurier Centre for Military Strategic and Disarmament Studies at Wilfrid Laurier.

This is the third and final volume in the series that began with Griffin
and Sabine and continued with Sabine’s Notebook. The series traces the
correspondence of two artistic individuals who are connected at the
psychic level but unable to unite in physical space.

The Golden Mean leads the protagonists through great crisis toward
union and uses the interference of a third party to focus the
relationship. The story is told in the form of correspondence. Highly
stylized postcards and illustrated letters give the book the air of an
eavesdropper’s delight and at the same time focus attention beyond the
written word to a deeper meaning.

This book continues the style of myth creation that has captured the
imaginations of many readers. A successful conclusion to an unusual and
fascinating series.
