Tales from the Inner City

A stunning companion to Tales from Outer Suburbia , this collection of illustrated short stories is sure to delight Shaun Tan fans of all ages. Where can we live if not in each other’s shadow? World-renowned artist Shaun Tan applies his unique imagination to a reflection on the nature of humans and animals, and our urban coexistence. From crocodile to frog, tiger to bee, this is a dark and surreal exploration of the perennial love and destruction we feel and inflict – of how animals can save us, and how our lives are forever entwined, for better or for worse. Tales from the Inner City is a masterful work, bearing all of Shaun Tan’s trademark wit and poignancy in both its prose and exquisite illustrations. —- ISBN: 9781760523534 | ISBN10: 1760523534 | ISBN-13: 978-1760523534
