Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. Retour en France pour Riad, sa maman et ses deux frère pendant que le père part enseigner Riad, en Arabie Saoudite. L’âge de la découverte des « filles », de l’acné, de la voix qui mue à l’époque des premiers ordinateurs Un père qui s’éloigne de plus en plus et qui s’enfonce dans la religiosité, qui perd son français et s’évade dans des délires somptueux… alors qu’il n’envoie pas assez d’argent à sa famille pour vivre correctement Un père qui semble sombrer dans ses délires mystiques sous la colère de sa femme et l’incompréhension de son fils Un 4e tome qui sonne comme la fin des dernières innocences de l’enfance This ends in a cliffhanger! Which gives me the dilemma of whether I should research the author to see what happens next. This one captures another few years of the author’s life in Syria and France. The father is worse in this one than the others. There are worse fathers out there but he is still terrible. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Raif Sattouf's autobiographies are one of my favorite graphic novel series. In this installment of the series, Riad is now a teenager and the tension between his Syrian father and his French mother reaches a boiling point. His father accepts a teaching job in Saudi Arabia but his mother refuses to follow him and keeps the kids with her in France. They do have family time during the summer when they gather in Syria, Riad's father's native country. Riad gets hounded by his father about losing his Arabic language skills and his refusal to begin an Islamic prayer life. Riad is more French like his mother at this stage in his life. The book closes with a cliffhanger situation between his parents.As with the earlier books in the series, the color scheme of the artwork changes depending on where the family is located. When they are in France the drawings are done in blue. When they are in Syria the drawings are done in pink. The book includes for the first time some red colored scenes when there is trouble brewing for Riad. This could be either dealing with bullying at school or while playing. This installment of the series was a lot longer than the earlier books. I was delighted to spend an entire evening engrossed in this fabulous story. The only sad part is that I have to wait another year for the next installment to be published. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"In the fourth volume of The Arab of the Future, little Riad has grown into a teenager. In the previous books, his childhood was complicated by the pull of his two cultures -- French and Syrian -- and his parents' deteriorating relationship. Now his father, Adbel-Razak, has left to take a job in Saudi Arabia, and after making a pilgrimage to Mecca, turns increasingly towards religion. But after following him from place to place and living for years under the harsh conditions of his impoverished village, Riad's mother Clementine has had enough. Refusing to live in a country where women have no rights, she returns with her children to live in France with her own mother... until Abdel-Razak shows up unexpectedly to drag the family on yet another journey. As the series builds to a climax, we see Riad struggle with problems both universal (bullies at school) and specific (his mother's sudden illness, the judgment of his religious relatives). And as Abdel-Razak returns again to the same fantastical dreams he pursued in previous books, we see him become more and more unhinged, until ultimately he crosses the line from idealism to fanaticism, leading to a dramatic breaking point. Full of the same gripping storytelling and lush visual style for which Sattouf's previous works have won numerous awards, The Arab of the Future 4 continues the saga of the Sattouf family and their peripatetic life in France and the Middle East." -- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
