Bellissimo! La frase finale mi spezza. Praticamente nello spazio di un tweet, Shaun Tan riesce a farti provare compassione, commozione, paura, rabbia, divertimento. Chi come lui?

I love the cicada and his tok tok tok. I probably would not have picked this up had I not read a queer interpretation of it for one of my classes, but it was very cute! And a little bit sad. Humans do be silly, you go cicada.

Tiny slip of a story tells of downtrodden outsider's triumph. A few more wonderful images from Shaun Tan.

Weird, yet hopeful. A lesson that even in the bleakest times, there is always a chance for renewal.

I think the universe is trying to tell me something. I have never identified with an insect so strongly.
