Tan follows his wordless epic The Arrival with a collection of--stories? fables? dreams? His prose is low-key and expository; the real story here is the pictures. Some display the somber polish of the Arrival vignettes; others are full-color, full-page fantasies. Each one has more than enough power to seduce the browser into looking closely into its mysteries.
