An allegory? The work ethic and focus on working, working, working with no life.

Ondanks de maar 30 pagina’s met telkens maar 4 lijnen tekst om de pagina is dit zó goed, zó slim, en Zó mooi geïllustreerd. Een boek dat zowel bij kinderen als volwassenen zal aanslaan; het is komisch, zelfbewust, maar raakt ook een belangrijk politiek thema aan. Dit is een boekje dat ik telkens terug ga openslaan voor de illustraties. 

Wie kan al dit bovenstaande zeggen over een ander boekje van maar 30 pagina’s?

You can never go wrong with a Shaun Tan picture book; I absolutely adore his allegories, especially in the one this time about hard work in an industry that doesn't know how to appreciate it.

Both uplifting and depressing all at the same time.
