Die ersten fünf Bände von »Der Araber von Morgen« bestachen durch ihren Erzählreichtum, ihre facettenreichen Schilderungen des Lebens in Libyen und Syrien, die guten Beobachtungen des Alltags und Charakterisierungen der Personen, vor allem des Vaters des Erzählers. Mit dem sechsten Band schließt Riad Sattouf nun dieses Epos aus Beobachtungen, Details und großen Linien. Und auch wenn es verständlich ist, dass die Erzählung endet, schade ist es. Nach sechs Bänden möchte man nicht mehr von der Geschichte lassen. Read the full article

Just read the harrowing (heart-punching, horrifying) first chapter of #TheArabOfTheFuture (a chance-borrow). Couldn’t stop compulsively turning pages. I don’t read comics at all, but this, this is how the medium is at its most effective. #RiadSattouf breaks my heart 💔 As we go along in our truly privileged lives, occupying them with non-stop art and entertainment, please pause to consider and take action for those in need around the world. Out of 7.5 billion people, 3 billion live in absolute poverty, less than $2.50 per day, and according to @unicef, 22,000 children DIE each day - each *day* - due to poverty. Go to these charities’ official websites. Donate. Don’t abandon those who need help. Please help change our world’s cultures towards treating ourselves better, being more enlightened and not medieval, and support your fellow human being in this encroaching age of technology. We can use what he have to make our world and the lives of billions far better 🙏🏼 https://www.instagram.com/p/BytYYDFpCkx/?igshid=8mfwtlcivugv

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
