Riad, delicate and wide-eyed, follows in the trail of his mismatched parents; his mother, a bookish French student, is as modest as his father is flamboyant. Venturing first to the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab State and then joining the family tribe in Homs, Syria, they hold fast to the vision of the paradise that always lies just around the corner. And hold they do, though food is scarce, children kill dogs for sport, and with locks banned, the Sattoufs come home one day to discover another family occupying their apartment. The ultimate outsider, Riad, with his flowing blond hair, is called the ultimate insult ... Jewish. And in no time at all, his father has come up with yet another grand plan, moving from building a new people to building his own great palace. Brimming with life and dark humor, The Arab of the Future reveals the truth and texture of one eccentric family in an absurd Middle East, and also introduces a master cartoonist in a work destined to stand alongside Maus and Persepolis"-- Provided by publisher.14aSattouf, RiadxChildhood and youthxComic books, strips, etc. 4aCartoonistszFrancexBiographyxComic books, strips, etc. 4aMiddle EastxBiographyxComic books, strips, etc.1 aTaylor, Sam,d1970-0 aArabe du futur.  2lcccBK  00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oNC1499.S28A2 2015 V. 1pPNLIB21062402r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK  c2589d2589
