The Arab of the Future: A Childhood in the Middle East, 1978-1984: A Graphic Memoir by Riad Sattouf
4.0
This book is truly great at capturing a time and place through a child's eyes.
Sattouf has a French mother and a Syrian father. His father is a professor and takes a job first in Libya and then in Syria. Sattouf's attention to detail is appreciated. I found myself chuckling in several parts of the book.
He color codes for the different countries he represents which I found easy to follow and a great way to differentiate setting.
This is the first in a series. I hope to get to the second one very soon.
