Summary
Habibi， based on a Middle Eastern fable， tells the story of Dodola， who escapes being sold into slavery and rescues an abandoned baby she names Zam。 They live in isolation in an old boat in the desert。 As they age their relationship shifts from mother and son， to brother and sister and eventually lovers。 In the meantime however Dodola is forced to prostitute herself to desert traders in order to provide for Zam。 When he seeks an alternative means of income Dodola is captured by the Sultan and Zam is forced into a quest to try and rescue her。
At heart Habibi is， like Blankets， a profound love story， but it also functions as a parable about the environment and the state of the world。 Set in the place where Christianity and Islam began， it explores the fundamental connection between these religions， and also the relationship between the first and the third world and the increasingly important battle for the earth's resources。
Ambitious， but always deeply felt， Habibi is a beautifully drawn and moving graphic novel that will get a huge amount of attention。

I'm a big fan of Thompson's work and have read everything he's put out， though I was initially put-off by this work。 I let ten years or so go by before trying again， and re-reading everything he wrote in the interim。 The work is much better than I initially thought， and I am very impressed with the research that went into the book and the imaginative power that transformed such research into a coherent and compelling narrative。 But that said， this is a tough work。 In fact， I would say it's an "u I'm a big fan of Thompson's work and have read everything he's put out， though I was initially put-off by this work。 I let ten years or so go by before trying again， and re-reading everything he wrote in the interim。 The work is much better than I initially thought， and I am very impressed with the research that went into the book and the imaginative power that transformed such research into a coherent and compelling narrative。 But that said， this is a tough work。 In fact， I would say it's an "ugly" book， in that the sheer beauty of the work--the illustrations， the embellishments， the relationship of the two main characters--contrasts sharply with the relentless obsession with rape， female objectification， wanton destruction， waste， and degradation。 Obviously， Thompson is against all of this， which is part of the problem: he's so desperate to show how diseased the human race is-and in particular， his imaginative Middle East--that he can't let more than a page or two go by without rubbing it in our faces。 I feel that in a sense， he's atoning for the popularity and escapism of Blankets， and is trying to be more like Joe Sacco， creating works that have a tremendous social agenda。 In some ways， I feel like Habibi was a work of peer pressure by his more famous compatriots， who told him， "you're so talented。。。but you can't waste your talent writing love stories and cartoons of little trolls。" The best parts of the work read like a speculative fiction twist on the 1，001 Nights。 This isn't the Middle East， exactly， but it's a twisted， perverted， and somewhat biased version of the Arabic culture。 While Thompson clearly is enamored with the Koran and the spiritual numerology of that work， he also has incredible disdain for the misogynist culture he that hid women behind veils and harems。 His modern-day Middle East is a fairy tale run amok: the culture lives on sludge and waste， gleefully destroying the environment while selling young children into slavery--whether through marriage to older men， or through sexual bondage to the sultan。 Yet for all the social commentary， his Middle East is very storybook and would not be out of place in the Victorian age。 It's a bit too stereotypical， a bit too 'evil'; indeed， every man is a sex-crazed monster who thinks nothing of raping a ten year-old girl。 In many ways， this is a cartoon version of Game of Thrones， if the entire Middle East were the land of the Dothraki。 It's splendidly drawn and imagined， but the story as a whole wears thin after a hundred pages or so。 His main characters are fabulous， though， and their story is enough to keep you reading through the more tedious and regrettable moments。 That said， I can't escape the feeling that this is the work of a divided man: someone who is staying true to his talent， yet is trying to prove something to his peers。 The gusto of his former storytelling often shines through， only to be obscured by his guilty social conscience。 And while he wants us to revel in the ugliness of the human imagination， I feel that the rape scene in the desert was a bridge too far （even while admitting its thematic importance）。 Simply put， it's a work I admire and enjoyed， but only in small doses。 Whether this is because he does his job too well， or lays it on with too heavy a hand， is for other readers to decide。 What is clear is that Thompson is an artist of genius and a storyteller second to none。 Yet I feel his talents are better served in books like Blankets， Chunky-Rice， Space Dumplins， and his recent comic， Ginseng Roots。 When he can tether his imagination to his lived experience， the story feels 'lived in' and exciting。 When he takes too far a leap into a world that lives only through books and research， it feels distant and dry。 For as much as I liked the characters in his book， I had trouble feeling that they were real， that I could care about them。 I felt pity for them， but not love。 。。。more

I find it difficult to take seriously a book whose ~artfully stylised~ title says something akin to "itithhi。"Also it's a revoltingly fetishistic story and I don't care for it in the slightest！ The orientalism is off the charts。 The misogyny is absolutely disgusting: Dodola - who is frequently depicted as hairless， Hollywood-model-hot， and nude - is raped and otherwise sexually assaulted a jaw-dropping amount of times， often with no narrative purpose。 I'm by no means against depictions of horrif I find it difficult to take seriously a book whose ~artfully stylised~ title says something akin to "itithhi。"Also it's a revoltingly fetishistic story and I don't care for it in the slightest！ The orientalism is off the charts。 The misogyny is absolutely disgusting: Dodola - who is frequently depicted as hairless， Hollywood-model-hot， and nude - is raped and otherwise sexually assaulted a jaw-dropping amount of times， often with no narrative purpose。 I'm by no means against depictions of horrific acts， nor am I against artistic sexualisation of violence， but this portrayal of eroticised violence and violation was so clearly rooted in Western ideas of Middle Eastern women that it made me sick。 Every other page has either needless （female） nudity， sexual violence， or flagrant misogyny。 Every man is a rapist brute， little more than a stereotypical caricature。 Every woman - and there are few - is either a diminutive flower with no agency， a slave， and/or a rape victim。 Repeatedly。 Graphically。 At great length。 （Dodola was first raped by her husband - to whom she was sold against her will - when she was still a pre-teen， if that; Thompson then has her fondly reminisce about how her much-older husband probably just "couldn't help himself。" It was such a disgusting portrayal of Arab/Muslim culture（s） that I'm shocked anyone， even non-Muslim， non-Arab， can see it as anything other than horrifying。） Dodola had zero agency of her own， with her every action being either against her will or in the service of a man。 Even her relationship with the eponymous Zam is from his point of view。The art is decent， I suppose， so I'll give it that; many of the illustrations do accurately replicate Islamic architecture and calligraphy （which is an art I admire very much）， albeit sandwiched between misogynistic violence and racist stereotypes， which did tend to detract from my appreciation thereof！ None of the art is unique to Thompson， however， given that he copied the majority of it directly from actual Islamic architecture， art， calligraphy， etc。If you can excuse racism， misogyny， rape apologism， orientalism， Islamophobia， cultural appropriation， cultural fetishism， exoticism， and CSA， then。。。 still don't bother with this book， because there's nothing left。 My final thoughts on the book is that we should issue a moratorium on Westerners writing about Arab culture， and specifically Western men writing about Arab women。 。。。more

«Хабібі» Крейґа Томпсона настільки масштабний і магнетичний мальопис， що відразу розумієш: ось сучасна класика， яку вже вивчатимуть в університетах і додаватимуть у які завгодно списки кращих коміксів усіх часів і народів。 Справді， Томпсон створив вкрай незвичний і експериментальний комікс， сповнений східної атмосфери， езотерики й містики， конфлікту культури й цивілізації， складних взаємин людини й Бога， драматизму й безмежної любові， яка здатна поєднати непоєднане。 Думав， що його «Покривала» є «Хабібі» Крейґа Томпсона настільки масштабний і магнетичний мальопис， що відразу розумієш: ось сучасна класика， яку вже вивчатимуть в університетах і додаватимуть у які завгодно списки кращих коміксів усіх часів і народів。 Справді， Томпсон створив вкрай незвичний і експериментальний комікс， сповнений східної атмосфери， езотерики й містики， конфлікту культури й цивілізації， складних взаємин людини й Бога， драматизму й безмежної любові， яка здатна поєднати непоєднане。 Думав， що його «Покривала» є беззаперечним і недосяжним шедевром， але «Хабібі»， здається， все ж досягнув якихось неможливих рівнів використання можливостей медіуму для вираження історії。Розповідати історію нема сенсу， адже це не тільки позбавить читацького задоволення， але й загалом марна справа з точки зору лінійності。 Річ у тім， що причинно-наслідкова подієва картина є лише основою， на яку нанизуються злагодженими шарами різноманітні символи， філософські та релігійні притчі， марення і фантазії， містично-езотеричні вчення в руслі ісламу， внутрішні монологи то Зама （головний герой， він же Хабібі）， то Додоли （головна героїня， вона ж спочатку мати， потім подруга， а згодом кохана Хабібі）。 Тому легше виокремити паттерни， які між собою взаємодіють у різних варіаціях， уможливлюючи які завгодно інтерпретації і тлумачення。 Відразу ж скажу， що Томпсон не зловживає філософською складовою， а завжди пам’ятає про історію， яка то набирає обертів， перетворюючи на авантюрний роман， то сповільнюється， набуваючи форми арабської медитації， гіпнотизуючи завдяки дизайнерському таланту Томпосона。 Звісно， що це також подорож через нестерпні страждання і неможливі виклики заради спільного блага， яка не потребує комфорту， а лише спільної присутності。 Томпсон змальовує світ， у якому панує хіть， жадібність， жорстокість і безрозсудність у максимально загрозливих， деструктивних варіаціях。 На цьому безнадійному тлі історія взаємин між Хабібі та Додолою тим більше видається чимось неймовірним， здатним дати надію навіть тим， хто остаточно зневірився。 Тим більше символічним виглядає їхнє перебування на кораблі серед пісків пустелі， де вони намагаються вижити， втриматись разом на плаву життя。 Тема їхньої ізоляції， відірваності є тим лейтмотивом， який вже виринав у «Покривалах»， але тут він набуває якогось симфонічного звучання， здатним розірвати серце будь-кого。 Не важко здогадатись， що любов є основним паттерном у цій історії。 Любов є найвищою людською цінністю。 Любов є буттям і сущим Бога。 Любов є фракталом。 Усі， хто пізнають любов， пізнають Бога。 Цікаво， що попри велику кількість відвертих сцен， секс і тілесне жодним чином не дарує людини відчуття ані щастя， ані божественного смислу。 Радше навпаки: тілесне задоволення віддаляє від Бога， тому й не дивно， що група євнухів тлумачать себе як тих， хто пізнав духовне。 Керуючись цією логікою， тілесний дефект Зама теж є спробою відректись від гріховного， земного начала （дуже влучно Томпсон використовує візуальну асоціацію зрубленого дерева， яка своїм корінням сягає ґрунту）， присвячуючи себе духовній любові， тобто Богові， тобі своїй незмінній Додолі。 Томпсон вже раніше показав свій талант як художника та дизайнера， але тут це щось неймовірне。 Здається， що нема жодного художника в індустрії， який би міг витиснути з чорно-білого малюнку стільки відтінків， нюансів， акцентів у мальованій історії。 Уміння змалювати персонажів， ландшафти， створити інтимні й глобальні сцени， стилізувати епізоди під потрібний візуальний контекст – це лише маленька частина усього таланту Томпсона。 Мені найбільш запам’ятались історії із Корану， Біблії （вони перетинаються між собою）， які оповідає Додола。 Вони не тільки підсилюють основну історію， будучи коментарем до тих чи тих моментів， але й володіють своєю автентичною візуальною мовою。 Звісно， без використання арабської каліграфії естетичний магнетизм стилю Томпсона суттєво зменшився б， тому тільки лишається дивуватись звідки він про це все знає і як влучно уміє інтегрувати це знання。Кидайте усі справи й читайте вже «Хабібі»。 Не відволікайтесь， присвятіть себе повністю цій дивовижній історії про людську потребу в любові， здатній робити чудеса попри усі нечистоти й незгоди світу。 Це той комікс， який або змінить вас， або лишить байдужим。 Якщо все ж сталось останнє， то просто дайте йому ще один час， дозвольте підібрати правильний момент у житті。 Справжні шедеври як загадкові казкові скриньки: відкриваються лише тоді， коли відкриті серце й душа。 。。。more
