## Description

desertcart.co.jp: Cicada : Tan, Shaun: Foreign Language Books

Review: この翻訳本を書店で見つけて、和訳もよかったが、是非とも原語で読みたいものだとアマゾンで注文。平易な英語ではあるが、そのそっけない表現がかえって心をゆさぶる。途中までは胸がつぶれるような思いで読み進めるのだが、最後に思いがけない希望があるという設定だというのが個人的な解釈。正解かどうかは著者のみが知るのだろうが、２０２１年の最高の一冊になるのは間違いない。ショーン・タンの展覧会も北九州でまだやっているので楽しみ。
Review: Lovely art and short story - I love Shaun Tan so it is really no surprise that I love this little book as well. This is 100% my take on his story, but the story was very much reminiscent of a Japanese salary man's life. Tan using a cicada for this book also seems fitting as cicadas are so common during Japan's hot and humid summers, that they've sort-of become an icon of summer vacation for this country of routine and traditions. Anyways, I don't think I've ever seen quite such an adorable cicada and his artwork is, as always, quite beautiful.

書いてあることはよく分からなかったが、繰り返し読むことで、味がする類のものであるということが分かった。 絵は楽しい。
