\"300_tales_from_outer_suburbia-1.jpg\"Shaun Tan Signing in Toronto
\nIn Support of his new book, Tales from Outer Suburbia<\/em>
\nTuesday, October 28th, 5pm-7pm
\n@ The Beguiling, 601 Markham Street, Toronto
\nFree to attend<\/strong>
\nThe Beguiling is proud to welcome Australia’s Shaun Tan to Toronto, on tour for his new book Tales from Outer Suburbia<\/em>. Despite being an accomplished and award-winning illustrator, Tan first came to the attention of graphic novel fans around the world for his epic, wordless graphic novel The Arrival<\/em>. The Arrival<\/em> won all sorts of awards and brought the extremely talented Tan to the attention of the comics industry, a rare “crossover” and, according to lumnaries like Art Spiegelman, a graphic novel<\/em> in the truest sense of the phrase.<\/p>\n

Tales From Outer Suburbia<\/em> is a fascinating hybrid storybook and graphic novel, showcasing Tan’s gorgeous art through prose, comics, and gorgeous full-page illustrations. A collection of short stories to be enjoyed by readers from 6 to 60, Tales From Outer Suburbia<\/em> is exactly the sort of book that could become anyone’s favourite.<\/p>\n

The book will go on sale for the first time at this event.<\/p>\n
