Overview

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.

    Klarissa B. - 1 year 6 months ago

    Follow the never-ending struggle as you experience the life of Dodola and Zam, two lives interweaving and being torn apart. This book is an emotional journey that makes you rethink hardship as you experience the tragedies of our characters and their triumphs, achieved through their inspiring resilience. Swirling imagery explores difficult topics such as culture, faith and love.
