Der Araber von morgen #3

The bold orange cover of this third volume in Riad Sattouf's acclaimed autobiographical series immediately draws the eye, depicting a family scene — two adults and two children — set against the silhouette of a large aircraft, with a television set visible nearby, evoking both travel and displacement. Sattouf's clean, expressive linework frames what promises to be another chapter of childhood memory set in the Middle East between 1985 and 1987. Published by Knaus Verlag in 2017, this German-language edition invites readers into a story that the Süddeutsche Zeitung calls "witzig, absurd, berührend" — funny, absurd, and touching.
