The melancholy death of Oyster Boy & other stories
A bizarre menagerie of characters--including Oyster Boy, Brie Boy, Match Girl, and Stick Boy--search for love and understanding in a world that does not comprehend oddities.
"Twenty-three illustrated gothic tales from the dark corridors of the imagination of Tim Burton. He is the creator of Edward Scissorhands, Mars Attacks! and more. A study in hapless beings!"
""From breathtaking stop-action animation to bittersweet modern fairy tales, filmmaker Tim Burton has become known for his unique visual brilliance -- witty and macabre at once. Now he gives birth to a cast of gruesomely sympathetic children -- misunderstood outcasts who struggle to find love and belonging in their cruel, cruel worlds. His lovingly lurid illustrations evoke both the sweetness and the tragedy of these dark yet simple beings -- hopeful, hapless heroes who appeal to the ugly outsider in all of us, and let us laugh at a world we have long left behind (mostly anyway)" -- publisher website (July 2007)."
"Gedichten over en tekeningen van groteske wezentjes."
"Tim Burton ist ein Mann mit erstaunlichen Talenten. Wie in seinen fantastischen Filmen, die alle längst Kultstatus erlangt haben, bannt er auch in seinem Buch die Dämonen der Kindheit. 23 surreal illustrierte Geschichten in Versform erzählen vom Schicksal unglücklicher Jungen und Mädchen, die sich unendlich nach Liebe sehnen, aber Ausgestossene bleiben, weil sie den Normen der Erwachsenen nicht entsprechen. "Geschwulst, Missgeburt, du schändliches Ding!", schelten die entsetzten Eltern ihren Sohn, der halb als Auster auf die Welt gekommen ist. Anmut und Tragik, Traurigkeit und Schönheit vereinen die anfangs hoffnungsfrohen, schliesslich jedoch unglücklichen Wesen, die in Tim Burtons liebevollen, skurrilen Zeichnungen lebendig werden. Die Ausstellung zu Tim Burtons künstlerischem Schaffen im New Yorker Museum of Modern Art war 2009/10 ein Publikumsmagnet; nur Picasso und Matisse haben jemals mehr Zuschauer ins MoMa gelockt."
