Shaun Tan; worth looking for!!
Posted: Sat Sep 27, 2008 10:13 -0700
Hello folks,
I've just "read" (read = enjoyed) Shaun Tans book The Arrival (German "Ein Neues Land", although it does not really need a translation) and I must say I'm deeply moved by it! The experience is hard to describe, it's a story completely without words, as if viewing an old photo album, but the story is so clear and smoothly told, you can't help to go with the flow (well, I for one couldn't).
I've bought the Carlsen graphic novel for 30,00 Euro, which is twice the price I usually pay for comics, but worth every Cent nonetheless.
For those who would like to check it out themselves:

Just click on books for a little view inside and enjoy....
