Fremtidens araber

The Norwegian edition of Riad Sattouf's acclaimed autobiographical series, Fremtidens araber (The Arab of the Future), began publication in 2022 through Gyldendal Norsk Forlag. This ongoing translation brings Sattouf's award-winning graphic memoir to Norwegian readers, chronicling his childhood growing up in Libya, Syria, and France in the 1970s and 1980s. With Sattouf handling both writing and art, and Alexander Leborg contributing to the script, the series offers a poignant, often humorous look at cultural displacement and family dynamics. Its significance lies in making this internationally celebrated work—a landmark of modern comics journalism—accessible to a Norwegian audience.
