And the third volume of Riad Sattouf’s autobiographical opus, that has just come out (two are still to appear), should follow the same path – Télérama, Translated into 17 languages, The Arab of the Future is a publishing phenomenon that doesn’t overwhelm the reader, who feels Riad Sattouf personally takes them by the hand to explore his childhood  – Spirou, Sattouf has become the master of French comics – Les Inrockuptibles, It pierced my heart, it’s a masterpiece. Be the first to ask a question about The Arab of the Future.

As a young boy Riad leaves rural France and is relocated in Libya and Syria as his father tries to connect with Pan-Arabist undercurrents in the region.

It all merges into a cross cultural and cross national chaos. His father’s ideals and pride. The most ambitious and most accomplished work by Riad Sattouf, The Arab of the Future is long-awaited by the press and the public. Another graphic novel of autobiographical slant (after ‘Maus’ and ‘Persepolis’). Told through a little boys eyes, we see the crazy, third-world conditions he grows up in under two dictators, first Gaddafi and then al-Aasad. Gradually his principles change and he aspires to fashion his young blonde-haired son Riad into the Arab of the future. His father has only one idea in mind: his son Riad will go to school in Syria to become an educated and modern Arab, an Arab of the future. Product details.

Riad sees his father torn between his wife’s aspirations and the weight of family traditions….

Riad, presents his world to us with the innocence of a child, open to the world accepting and reacting in way that are emotionally familiar, yet socially out of our, and often his, comfort zone. – Guardian, This a darker book than its predecessor, though it’s still drily funny, Sattouf never failing to make the most of the aching gap between his father’s fantasies and reality. One of the reviews on the back cover states that young Riad. In this second volume, which covers his first year of school in Syria (1984-1985), he learns to read Arabic, gets to know his father’s side of the family, and does his best to make his father proud by becoming a real little Syrian boy… despite his blond hair and his two weeks’ vacation in France with his mom. Born in France, then to Libya, then to Syria, we see a child's view of the regions and the cultures. We get glimpses into the poverty and chaos of Syria and Libya and the contrasts between middle eastern and French lifestyles and cultures of that time. There are no discussion topics on this book yet. Part to a French mother and Syrian father, it details his young childhood in Libya, Syria, and France as his father receives jobs as an associate professor.

Thought provoking and always enlighteni.
