Graphic Novel
From the internationally acclaimed author of Blankets
(“A triumph for the genre.”—Library
Journal), a highly anticipated new graphic novel. Sprawling across an epic landscape of deserts, harems,
and modern industrial clutter, Habibi tells the tale
of Dodola and Zam, refugee child slaves bound to each other
by chance, by circumstance, and by the love that grows
between them. We follow them as their lives unfold together
and apart; as they struggle to make a place for themselves
in a world (not unlike our own) fueled by fear, lust, and
greed; and as they discover the extraordinary depth—and
frailty—of their connection. At once contemporary and timeless, Habibi gives us a
love story of astounding resonance: a parable about our
relationship to the natural world, the cultural divide
between the first and third worlds, the common heritage of
Christianity and Islam, and, most potently, the magic of
storytelling.
