Masterclass with Shaun Tan

He is one of those authors who defy easy description. An artist, certainly, and a graphic novelist, Shaun Tan can perhaps best be described as someone who visualises surreal worlds and populates them with stories. Sometimes they're billed as picture books for children, but more often they feel deeply allegorical and are just as relevant to adult readers. In this event in our new Masterclass series, Tan offers technical insights into how he achieves this remarkable balance.
