Fremtidens araber

The acclaimed autobiographical series Fremtidens araber (The Arab of the Future) follows Riad Sattouf’s childhood in 1970s–80s Libya, France, and Syria, as seen through the eyes of his mixed-race family. Published by Minuskel Forlag from 2015 onward, this four-issue comic is written by Alexander Leborg and Riad Sattouf, with Sattouf’s distinctive, warm linework bringing the story to life. A landmark of modern graphic memoir, it offers a deeply personal, unflinching look at identity, politics, and cultural clash.
