Tan’s lovingly laid out and masterfully rendered tale about the immigrant experience is a documentary magically told. – Art Spiegelman, author of MausAn absolute wonder. – Marjane Satrapi, author of PersepolisA magical river of strangers and their stories! – Craig Thompson, author of BlanketsA shockingly imaginative graphic novel that captures the sense of adventure and wonder that surrounds a new arrival on the shores of a shining new city. Wordless, but with perfect narrative flow, Tan gives us a story filled with cityscapes worthy of Winsor McCay. – Jeff Smith, author of BoneShaun Tan’s artwork creates a fantastical, hauntingly familiar atmosphere… Strange, moving, and beautiful. – Jon J.
