Early morning #SJComix365 - Today we’re looking through Arab if the Future by Riad Sattouf (Metropolitan Books, 2015). Originally published to much acclaim in France, AotF tells of Sattouf's childhood spent “in the shadows of 3 dictators―Muammar Gaddafi, Hafez al-Assad, and his father”... a Syrian Pan-Arabist who drags his family along in his pursuit of grandiose dreams for the Arab Nation. This story is a great way to recount some important moments in modern Middle East history. #comics #graphicnovels #arabofthefuture #riadsattouf #graphicmemoir https://www.instagram.com/p/BtAdRf-nOGm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3k30dabxrilw
