From Library Journal

One nice thing landed in HarperCollins's lap after the recent reshuffling of the Harper empire: this new work by Griffin and Sabine author Bantock, once with the newly absorbed Collins. In this illustrated tale, a man searches for his grandfather's mysterious legacy.
Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.


From Booklist

Bantock's unusual Griffin and Sabine trilogy took many by surprise when it surged onto the best-seller lists, but obviously Bantock, who is an artist, a writer, and a bit of a mystic, has tapped into a universal desire for gentle stories and pretty books. His newest is an elegant and dreamy illustrated novel about one man's spiritual and aesthetic awakening. Armon Hurt, a lonely bookbinder, has just learned that his grandfather, the surrealist artist Rafael Hurtago, has died and left him his house in Ronda, Spain, with the enigmatic blessing, "May he discover his belonging." Belonging, or the sense of being connected to one's heritage and, therefore, to the creative force, is Bantock's primary theme, and here, the path to belonging is art. Reluctant to face his grief and, worse, guilt over having lost touch with his grandfather, Armon travels to Spain with the intention of putting his grandfather's house up for sale, but when he opens a cardboard case full of clues to what seems to be a treasure hunt, everything changes. As he attempts to solve the riddle, he finds himself, to his amazement and delight, in his grandfather's studio, the Forgetting Room, working on a painting, infused with memories and a new sense of purpose. This is a perfectly lovely little fairy tale and a beautifully produced book, although its delicate foldout illustrations may make circulation risky. Donna Seaman

1.0étoiles sur 5 Blech., Mars 19 2004
Par E. CHIA (HI USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Thank goodness this was a library copy, or I'd have felt most cheated.

The writing was clumsy, and strained at many instances. One can feel that Bantock is trying to be witty at times, but his 'set-ups' are so obvious it's paintful.
The pacing was off. There's a big lag in the middle.
The few pieces of 'art' seemed to have been thrown in because the whole story was so boring and self-indulgent.
Rich in symbolism? I find the whole exercise ponderous, and utterly contrived.

Borrow, don't buy this.

5.0étoiles sur 5 "Forgetting Room" by Nick Bantock, Mars 6 2002
Par "ziox" (Silver City,, New Mexico United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Forgetting Room (Paperback)
This book is like a breath of fresh air!!! It has a magic in a very heart felt story and its intriguing surrealistic symbolism. Aesthetically it is quite outstanding and made even more so in the intimate format of the book. I am now very eager to visit the small Spanish town of Ronda! I am sorry that it has taken me so long to discover the books of Nick Bantock, which I might add I am now collecting. As an artist I particularly identify with the author's work and have purchased additional copies of "The Forgetting Room" to share with others. The perfect word to discribe this book is that it is a treasure in its total sum of aesthetic worth and the revelation of the story!
