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.

Review of 'Habibi' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Honestly, Habibi just jumped into the rarefied air that is my top 10 favorite graphic novels. Wonderfully complex characters, subtext that is thought provoking without being preachy, and of course mind blowing art made this a masterpiece!

Eagerly looking forward to seeing which subjects Craig Thompson tackles next!
