The author fully shows his ability to mix humor and tenderness and, without seeming to, to capture the movements of History. — Lire Riad va avoir dix ans, ses cheveux sont ondulés et châtains.

Somehow, the narrative is both very funny and very sad, though the fact that this book even exists shows that a boy’s artistic gifts were finally permitted to flourish.

Los Angeles Book Prizes 2015 dans la catégorie Graphic Novel/comics [22 ] , [23 ] pour la version américaine ( The Arab of the Future: A Childhood in the Middle East, 1978-1984: A Graphic Memoir) Sattouf tells his sometimes bewildering story in a very concise manner and does not give any judgements. He shows what is happening, lets his history speak for itself, and it is up to the reader to form his or her opinion. With this book Sattouf has created his own Persepolis, without question (****) – De Standaard Le cinquième tome relate la vie de sa famille après l'enlèvement de Fadi, son plus jeune frère, par son père. Riad raconte le déchirement entre sa vie «d'adolescent» englobant ses questionnements sur son avenir, son cercle social et sa découverte du sentiment amoureux, et sa vie de famille marquée par l'enlèvement de Fadi, les moyens mis en œuvre pour le retrouver et l'image du père salie. sa sortie, le premier tome connait un succès critique [8 ]. Il remporte différents prix, dont le Fauve d'or d’Angoulême [9 ].The Syrian boys Sattouf met were like “little men,” intimidatingly fluent in the rhetoric of warfare. The first Arabic word he learned from them was yehudi, “Jew.” It was hurled at him at a family gathering by two of his cousins, who proceeded to pounce on him. Fighting the Israeli Army was the most popular schoolyard game. The Jew was “a kind of evil creature for us,” Sattouf told me, though no one had actually seen one. (Sattouf writes, “I tried to be the most aggressive one toward the Jews, to prove that I wasn’t one of them.”) Another pastime was killing small animals: the first volume of “The Arab of the Future” concludes with the lynching of a puppy." The memoir is terrifying for what it tells us of the consciousness of a Sunni Arab man and his extended family, as well as the conditions in the cities of Tripoli and Homs. Sattouf engages our sympathies immediately by starting out his descriptions from the eyes of a blond two-year-old, who we might expect to be perplexed wherever he was, being new to the world. But this turns out to be the perfect vehicle for presenting the things he sees, hears, smells, and experiences with a disingenuous honesty (though, I must admit, the consciousness of a child). It is as disarming as it is damning. We laugh and cringe at the same time.

I read and collect autobiographies, particularly of expats who live in countries not their own. It's hard to find good ones in English about living in the Middle East. I was excited about this. That being said, this is an account of the very early years spent by the author in Libya, France and Syria - but also the story of his father, an Arab who studied in France to get his ph.D. and who married a French woman.

I am reminded of Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion in which Dawkins writes of early childhood inculcation into any religion as one of the most damaging things that can happen to the impressionable mind. One cannot help but agree when one sees what it has done in cultures all over the world. In this part of the world hatreds last for millennia, perhaps due largely to childhood inculcation. Riad’s father buys him a plastic revolver as a toy. “All boys like weapons,” he says.

This a darker book than its predecessor, though it’s still drily funny, Sattouf never failing to make the most of the aching gap between his father’s fantasies and reality. — Guardian
