About the series
Riad Sattouf’s The Arab of the Future: A Childhood in the Middle East, published by Two Roads since 2016, is a two-issue autobiographical graphic novel series that chronicles his nomadic childhood across France, Libya, and Syria. Blending personal memoir with sharp political observation, Sattouf’s clean, expressive art and wry narration capture the disorienting clash of cultures and ideologies in the 1970s and 1980s. The series stands as a vital, intimate portrait of growing up between worlds, earning acclaim for its unflinching honesty and universal resonance.
