An Un-Calibrated Centrifuge
Lost & Found
I like the range of stories in Lost & Found. The Rabbits has a large scope, sweeping over years of Australia's history in a few pages but managing to stay poignant. I think it would be more poignant if it were a story from a Indigenous/Aboriginal Australian, but "and stole our children" gets me every time.
The Red Tree is a great depiction of depression. Lost & Found is probably the most open to interpretation. Depending on how I feel when I'm reading it, I get different things out of it. This time around it made me kind of sad.
Like all of Shaun Tan's works I feel like I could read this book forever and always find something new inside of it.
