Requests:  0 Summary:  "In striking, virtuoso graphic style that captures both the immediacy of childhood and the fervor of political idealism, Riad Sattouf recounts his nomadic childhood growing up in rural France, Gaddafi's Libya, and Assad's Syria--but always under the roof of his father, a Syrian Pan-Arabist who drags his family along in his pursuit of grandiose dreams for the Arab nation. Riad, delicate and wide-eyed, follows in the trail of his mismatched parents; his mother, a bookish French student, is as modest as his father is flamboyant. Venturing first to the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab State and then joining the family tribe in Homs, Syria, they hold fast to the vision of the paradise that always lies just around the corner. And hold they do, though food is scarce, children kill dogs for sport, and with locks banned, the Sattoufs come home one day to discover another family occupying their apartment. The ultimate outsider, Riad, with his flowing blond hair, is called the ultimate insult... Jewish. And in no time at all, his father has come up with yet another grand plan, moving from building a new people to building his own great palace. Brimming with life and dark humor, The Arab of the Future reveals the truth and texture of one eccentric family in an absurd Middle East, and also introduces a master cartoonist in a work destined to stand alongside Maus and Persepolis"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 741.56909 Sattouf Sa   Checked out 05/15/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Biography B Sattouf Sa GN Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Biography B Sattouf Sa Graphic Format Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Biography B Sattouf Sa Graphic Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Sattouf Sa   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 741.56909 Sa GrNov PAP Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
