review:
'The Arab of the Future 4: A Graphic Memoir of a Childhood in the Middle East, 1987-1992' with words and art by Riad Sattouf is the 4th volume of memoirs by the author.

In this volume, Riad becomes an adolescence. Meanwhile, his parent's marriage is falling apart. His father is teaching in Saudi Arabia and his mother and the kids live in France. His father wants them to all move to Syria, but his family and his racist ways make things difficult. Meanwhile Riad wants the things other kids want, like sneakers and computers.

I like this series. The family dynamic can be hard to read, but the story and art are good. I'm glad I got a chance to read this 4th volume in Riad's story.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Metropolitan Books, Henry Holt & Company, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
