A review by littlerah
Eric by Shaun Tan
5.0
I should’ve bought every single Shaun Tan book that I saw at Clunes Booktown. This is an odd and charming read much like all of Tan’s work and I love it just the same.
”It must be a cultural thing.”
Eric is an exchange student who sleeps in the pantry. Each illustration and sentence is chosen wisely as Tan showcases difference and the importance of small things. It shows an outside perspective from a narrator trying to understand is honestly just beautiful.
I cried a little at the end and am honestly warmed by this book. Pay attention to detail and to person. Learn more about the people and world around you. Perspective is important. I love this.
