The Arrival
By: Shaun Tan5/5 stars
Reviewer: Marina
Shadows are encroaching on the city our main character leaves behind in search of a better life for his family. He arrives in a fantastical world full of fear and promise. Tan masterfully tells the story of immigration and being an outsider in a new world through exquisite pictures. The arrival serves as a silent movie of the ups and downs of the immigrant experience that anyone can relate to. It is a beautiful, deeply moving book that is hard to put into words (possibly because it uses none). Pick it up and enjoy the journey.
