The Arab of the Future: A Childhood in the Middle East, 1978-1984: A Graphic Memoir by Riad Sattouf
4.0
This memoir in graphic novel format tells the tale of the author's early childhood living in several different countries with his French mother and Syrian father. The family spends time living in France, Libya, and Syria during the late 1970's and early 80s.
This book was a bestseller in France, where it was originally published and only recently has been translated into English. The story is woven thru with humorous observations from the author about the cultural and lifestyle difference he encounters with each move and how he never really seems to fit in.
