Sinopsis
Nor Crystal Tears is a first contact novel about the meeting of the insect-like thranx and humans written by Alan Dean Foster that started the Humanx Commonwealth. It is written from the perspective of the thranx and the cultural lens through which they encounter "alien" humans. Foster would further expand on this theme, using another (unrelated) alien race, the furry Quozl in their eponymous novel.
