AYRT

I actually wasn't directing that at ESL people specifically, it's just something that stands out particularly with this book, because of the subject matter, and made me think about silent movies as well. I've always loved them, but it made me wonder about purely visual media and how they have the potential to more easily jump language barriers (not necessarily cultural ones, but linguistic ones). Even with silent movies, you wouldn't have to mess with dubs/subs, all you'd have to change would be the title cards. It's an art form I think has potential again now, with globalisation and things like that, and I've been really enjoying the recent silent resurgence with films like The Artist as well.

Sorry. I'm rambling. But! The Arrival is well worth a read. The art is gorgeous, and it really is as much something you experience as it is something you read. I adore it.
