Habibi by Craig Thompson
5.0
The amount of work put in this graphic novel, and I mean both research and illustrative work, is enormous. It is truly a masterpiece, and an uttermost pleasure to read and admire Craig Thompson's talent in storytelling and drawings.
Although he touches the subject of religion many times throughout the whole novel, it is given in such a subtle and interesting way one doesn't really mind. it's all amazing stories woven into two people's hard life. It is the story of devotion, love, beliefs, and, as the author himself says - sexual trauma. It's deep and full of meaning, surpassing the boundaries of a graphic novel.
I wish it never finished, and I really feel bad for reading it so fast.
The edition itself is beautiful and a real jewel among other books on the bookshelf - hard cover with stamped gold foil and wonderful embellishments.
A must have, just like other Craig Thompson's novels.
