More on Shaun Tan

I'm still loving Shaun Tan's Tales From Outer Suburbia.


One of the stories in the collection, 'Eric' is available for viewing here. It's not the same experience as seeing it on the page, though. I post it in the hope that you, too, will go on to experience the wonder of the hard copy!


An interview of Shaun Tan, a great introduction to this excellent artist, can be found here.


I have heard Tan give a lecture before, and loved hearing his insights on the creative process and the nature of fiction. "All fiction is false," he reminds us, "what makes it convincing is that it runs alongside the truth."
