Book 187:Tales from the Inner City by Shaun Tan
Not a graphic novel really, more of illustrated short stories. Reviewed for ages 12 and older.
Synopsis: A collection of incredibly original stories, rich with feeling, strangely moving, almost numinous. And when the reader comes to the artwork, it's like walking into an amazing room, and then throwing open a curtain to see a brilliant scene that makes you understand and appreciate everything you've encountered in a deeper way.
Review: This is my second Shaun Tan book this year. His take of the ordinary is different, and his work is amazing. It will not be for everyone. With this book, you can leaf through and pick and choose stories that speak to you through the art. My rating 4⭐️.
