Tales from Outer Suburbia
by Shaun Tan
Every book I've read of his is extraordinary - the detailed and poignant drawings, the koan-like stories (sometimes more like captions) - I stumbled across this one in the kids' section at the library - a mis-filing if I've ever seen one. Every inch of the book is used by him. On one page, a newspaper had a prescient out-of-the-way headline "Truth overrated, says Minister." Another one of his, "The Arrival," is about immigration, and also feels whimsically topical.
