The Arab of the Future: A Childhood in the Middle East, 1978-1984: A Graphic Memoir by Riad Sattouf
5.0
Whoa! A story set in Gaddafi's Libya and Assad's Syria, told from a child's perspective!
None of the minor incidents or the side-plots shock you because you know that stuff has happened but they still appal you, and I think the tone of the narrative does this brilliant job - not trivializing the serious situations yet telling it in an as-a-matter-fact-comic tone.
