El árabe del futuro, 6

In the early 1980s, Abdel-Razak Sattouf was fascinated by pan-Arabism and its promise of modernity, to the point of voluntarily settling in Gaddafi's Libya with his Briton wife and young son Riyadh. Now, in 1994, the reality of this peculiar Franco-Syrian family is far from the idealism of the initial years. The religious radicalization of his father and the worrisome despair of his mother add up to the worst misfortune that can happen to a person: adolescence. The Arab of the Future 6 collects more than a decade of Riyadh's life, which will make this volume an exciting, highly political coming-of-age, and as always, outrageously funny.
