The meeting with a creative person
Recipients of The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award 2011 Behind a wealth of meticulously detailed images, the critique of civilization and history of symbolic design is a real warmth. Man is always present, and Shaun Tan portrays both our candidates our alienation. He combines brilliant storytelling magic with deep humanism.
Shaun Tan is a virtuoso visual storyteller, a guide to the book's pictures of new opportunities. His imagery is its own universe where nothing is clear and everything is possible. The memory of childhood and adolescence are fixed reference points, but the picture storytelling is universal and affects everyone regardless of age.

The negligible risk we can not ignore
After the nuclear accident in Japan provides many experts soothing descriptions of possible consequences. A meltdown does not mean disaster, and a bit elevated radiation risk means reminding a public health threat than the release of the sofa with a bag of chips. The picture does not seem to go together with the one of the world's largest nuclear accident is underway. Logically and statistically is more likely to get in trouble if you drive a car than if you live near a nuclear plant. Yet we would never be willing to accept the same risk awareness in the handling of radioactivity when driving.
How is it that the descriptions of the threats and risks can vary so much?
We seem to have very different ways of looking at risks, but why is it so?
