tales from outer suburbia
Shaun Tan has a new book out — Tales from Outer Suburbia. We went to hear him speak at Gleebooks last night. The place was packed. Standing room only. He had so many books to sign afterwards before catching a plane back to Melbourne that we were unable to snaffle him away for dinner. It is so gratifying to see such a truly talented man get the recognition and attention he deserves. I predict another swag of awards for this book.

Suburbia is more Tan magic. You'll love it.

Standing room only.
Is that why you appear to be standing on Rob’s shoulders while taking that photo?
Oh, and yay Shaun indeed! He is a god.

It’s a fantastic book. I bought my copy last week, and have read it three times. Now I need to go and buy copies for several people who need this book in their lives.
