First an Oscar, now Shaun Tan has just been announced as recipient of the 2011 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award. What a great year he's having! Go Shaun, and congratulations. Certainly when one waxes lyrical about The Arrival these days, no-one asks “Who is this Shaun Tan person?” anymore. I love the ALMA. Back in 2008, Sonia Hartnett, another fantastic Aussie writer with a truly unique style was plucked from ”obscurity” when she won it.
