Presented in the visual postcard style of Griffin And Sabine, Postal Seance: A Scientific Investigation Into The Possibility Of A Postlife Postal Existence is a fun hypothesis where author/illustrator Henrik Drescher wonders about the ability of inhabitants of the afterworld to receive letters using earthly mailboxes as portals. His experiment here: to address correspondence to the dead: his intention, to chronicle the efforts to contact made by James Joyce, Bucky Fuller, and others. An odd, fun visually embellished collection evolves.
