Editorial Review:

Product Description:
"A 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 Bone

"A magical river of strangers and their stories!" -- Craig Thompson, author of Blankets

"Magnificent." -- David Small, Caldecott Medalist

In a heartbreaking parting, a man gives his wife and daughter a last kiss and boards a steamship to cross the ocean. He's embarking on the most painful yet important journey of his life - he's leaving home to build a better future for his family. Shaun Tan evokes universal aspects of an immigrant's experience through a singular work of the imagination. He does so using brilliantly clear and mesmerizing images. Because the main character can't communicate in words, the book forgoes them too. But while the reader experiences the main character's isolation, he also shares his ultimate joy.

- The Language of Beautiful Images
I am so lucky. I have an excellent friend, a best friend, who knows I appreciate unique stories and beautiful things, and when you put the two together you have something really special. She saw 'The Arrival' and knew I would love it and gave it to me. And she was right -- I never expected it, but I absolutely love it.

On one level, 'The Arrival' is a simple, fairly common story, one we've heard many times before in other ways, from other people. A man leaves his home and family in a ... Read More

- A beautifully illustrated master piece
I remember when I first immigrated to the states when I was nine years old. So many things looked foreign to me. I came on the fourth of July; I thought they were celebrating our arrival with the fireworks. Protagonist in Shaun Tan's THE ARRIVAL is fresh off the boat to a land that is strange and bizarre that is so alien even to everyone who picks up the book so we become the immigrant who can't figure out what the sign on the store says or become deaf to the spoken words that it wouldn't make sense ...

- Wordlessly describes the immigrant experience
Shaun Tan wordlessly writes about the immigrant experience in this sepia-toned graphic novel. In large two-page cityscapes and smaller one page, half page, quarter page, and 1/12th page drawings he unfolds the tale of a man who leaves his wife and child to seek employment in a foreign land. Using fantastic creatures, architecture, alphabets & objects to portray the strangeness of a new world, Tan creates the disorientation of the immigrant in a way any reader can understand.

- I am now crying and overwhelmed.
I just finished "reading" this book, and I'm weeping. It's THAT beautiful. I'm a high school reading specialist, and I will be using this in my classes. I'm glad it's my prep period with no students in the class right now, as I'm trying to compose myself.

I can't even express in words how wonderful this book is. I wish I could draw like Tan, then I could, perhaps, come close to expressing what this book can do and has done. Overwhelming.

Rating:

- Breathtaking
Absolutely breathtaking in its beauty and originality. Obviously the work of a true genius. I can't imagine what Shaun Tan could produce that would top this...although I imagine he DOES! I eagerly await your next work. And thanks for sharing.
