In this graphic novel, Riad Sattouf presents a personal testimony that reveals realities and experiences far from the homogenized 'global culture,' offering a fundamental perspective to understand the complexity of the world. The book tells the true story of a blond boy and his family in Gaddafi's Libya and Hafiz al-Assad's Syria. Sattouf, son of a Syrian father and a French mother, was born in Paris in 1978 and spent the first years of his childhood between France, Libya, and Syria. His father, a university professor passionate about politics, wanted his son to attend school in Syria to become an educated and modern Arab, 'the Arab of the future.'
Riad Sattouf is a French cartoonist, comic artist, and film director. Sattouf is best known for his graphic memoir L'Arabe du futur and for his film Les Beaux Gosses. He also worked for the satirical French weekly Charlie Hebdo for ten years, from 2004 to mid-2014, publishing drawing boards of one of his major works La vie secrète des jeunes.
