Riad's story takes in the sweep of politics, religion, and poverty, but is steered by acutely observed small moments: the daily sadism of his schoolteacher, the lure of the black market, with its menu of shame and subsistence, and the obsequiousness of his father in the company of those close to the regime. As his family strains to fit in, one chilling, barbaric act drives the Sattoufs to make the most dramatic of changes. --From publisher description.14aSattouf, RiadxChildhood and youthxComic books, strips, etc. 4aCartoonistszFrancexBiographyxComic books, strips, etc. 4aMiddle EastxBiographyxComic books, strips, etc.1 aTaylor, Sam,d1970-0 aArabe du futur.n2.  2lcccBK  00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oNC1499.S28A2 2016 V.2pPNLIB21062403r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK  c2590d2590
