Tales from Outer Suburbia by Shaun Tan

4.0

All of the stories are so odd and lovely, and the illustrations are absolutely perfect, although it's Shaun Tan so no surprise there. In a lot of ways this book reminds me a lot of [b:The Mysteries of Harris Burdick|402114|The Mysteries of Harris Burdick|Chris Van Allsburg|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1391538985s/402114.jpg|489077]. The stories are strange and cryptic, but there is so much opportunity for imagination and agency. A bit of the story is there, and the rest you can create yourself.
