alleseter 's review for:
De aankomst
by Shaun Tan
'The Arrival' is a serious candidate for being the best graphic novel ever. Shaun Tan tells his moving tale completely without words, and because the world the immigrant arrives in is completely strange to us readers, as well, we share the man's experiences. Tan's pencil drawings are of an extraordinary beauty. The author mixes realism and fantasy into a beautiful visual tale. The drawings sometimes fill two pages, and at other times are only little squares. Tan's command of visual storytelling is of the highest level, capable of evoking e.g. fear, hope, confusion and loneliness. This is one of those extremely rare graphic novels that moved me to tears, which to me says enough...
