SPIEGEL: Mr. Tan, you recently won the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, a sort of Nobel Prize for picture book authors. Your success as an an illustrator and author is being celebrated around the world. But you are not yet a household name. Could you please introduce yourself?



SPIEGEL: Your children's books are beloved by kids and adults alike. How do you picture your readers?



SPIEGEL: At age 37, you have received the highest honor in your field. What's next?



SPIEGEL: Where do you get inspiration for your stories?



SPIEGEL: When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?



SPIEGEL: You once said that your stories often develop from little scribbles and that you create hundreds of these every year. What happens to all the sketches that don't end up becoming part of one of your books?



SPIEGEL: Your books frequently touch on themes like colonialism, depression, loneliness and alienation. But how do you draw love?



SPIEGEL: In "The Arrival," you tell the story of a family that leaves its homeland to move to a utopic metropolis. You yourself grew up in the Australian city of Perth as the son of a Malaysian immigrant. The main character in the story is a shy man who is both modest and ambitious -- characteristics often attributed to yourself. How much of Shaun Tan goes into your characters?
