“As the very young Riad Sattouf navigates life in Libya, France, and Syria, he gets a serious education in the mysterious vectors of power that shape not just the political world, but the intimate sphere of his own family. With charming yet powerful drawings and vivid sensory details, Sattouf delivers a child's-eye view of the baffling adult world in all its complexity, corruption, and delusion. This is a beautiful, funny, and important graphic memoir.'
— Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home
“Seriously funny and penetratingly honest, Riad Sattouf tells the epic story of his eccentric and troubled family. Written with tenderness, grace, and piercing clarity, The Arab of the Future is one of those books that transcend their form to become a literary masterpiece.'
— Michel Hazanavicius, director of The Artist
“The Arab of the Future is a beautifully cartooned story that is both modern and timeless. The protagonist is one of the most endearing in comics. An important book, not just as art but as a window into another culture.'

— Gene Luen Yang, author of American Born Chinese
“Exquisitely illustrated, and filled with experiences of misfortune bordering on the farcical, Mr. Sattouf’s book is a disquieting yet essential read.'
— The New York Times
“The Arab of the Future has become that rare thing in France’s polarized intellectual climate: an object of consensual rapture, hailed as a masterpiece in the leading journals of both the left and the right.... it has, in effect, made Sattouf the Arab of the present in France.'
— The New Yorker
“The Arab of the Future confirms Riad Sattouf's place among the greatest cartoonists of his generation.'
— Le Monde
“Very funny and very sad . . . the social commentary here is more wistful and melancholy than sharp-edged . . . subtly written and deftly illustrated, with psychological incisiveness and humor.'
— Kirkus Reviews(starred review)
“Sattouf's account of his childhood is a deeply personal recollection of a peripatetic youth that can resonate with audiences across the world. It also paints an incisive picture of the Arab world in the late 1970s and early 1980s that sets the stage for the revolutionary changes that would grip and roil the region decades later.'
— Foreign Policy
“Wide-eyed, yet perceptive, the book documents the wanderings of [Sattouf's] mismatched parents-his bookish French mother and pan-Arabist father, Abdel-Razak Sattouf . . . often disquieting, but always honest.'
— France 24
Future Memories Ep
“Despite his father's determination to integrate his son into Arab society, little Sattouf — with his long blond hair — never fully fits in, and this report reads like the curious pondering of an alien from another world. Caught between his parents, Sattouf makes the best of his situation by becoming a master observer and interpreter, his clean, cartoonish art making a social and personal document of wit and understanding.'
