Tales from Outer Suburbia by Shaun Tan

4.0

(on unread poetry)
"...Someone might find them one day, but probably not. The truth is that unread poetry will almost always be just that, doomed to join a vast, invisible river of waste that flows out of suburbia..."

An interesting and delightful short read, consist of short stories and beautiful illustration. As the title suggest, most of the stories are set in suburbs, tickling the long-forgotten childish fantasy, only in these stories the adults acknowledged them too. Being a big part of them, even, blurring the lines of what is real and what is allegorical.

Just enough whimsy to keep me going. I enjoy it very much.
