The Reforms
Location: Rarely, if ever, here or there, but always in transition
|
Shaun Tan’s The Arrival is a wonderful story of immigration, strangeness,
and assimilation. It’s always disappointing when a comic has a cover much
cooler than the actual art inside; this is not the case with The Arrival at all.
This wordless fantasy invites endless re-reading, and it will probably
captivate kids as much as adults.
I couldn’t recommend it any more.
