For those of you who enjoyed Shaun Tan's 'The Arrival'

[K'Nort]

There was a thread on Comm that introduced a lot of us to that book, but I can't find it what with the re-indexing.

Anyway, he has a new book out and it is just as good. It's also pretty different. This is a collection of short stories. Reminded me a lot of Kevin Huizenga, which is a good thing.

Okay, that's going on the list, too.

And hopefully everybody who loved The Arrival has picked up Memorial, too.

I got it a couple of weeks ago.
It's lovely.

I believe that's been out for quite awhile.... he did a reading from a bookstore I was at late last year.

(And I had no idea he was going to be there that day either - bit of a treat that was).

Edit to add:

I believe the title of this thread should be 'For everyone with eyes'!

It was only recently released in the States, though.

Getting good press, however. It was on the cover of one of the library journals recently.
