(2) YA With these twenty-five works of beguiling short fiction set in other realities, Tan explores the tenuous relationship between humans and animals within urban landscapes. Most stories are three to five pages of evocative prose capped by an illustration in Tan's uniquely earthy and luminescent color palette. The connotations behind individual tales range from fairly overt to rather oblique; regardless, Tan's painterly illustrations consistently enhance each narrative.
