![]() ![]() These intermittent moments break up the larger plot, but are beautifully weaved through in a tapestry of Islamic patterns, calligraphy, numerology and mystical teachings. Every hardship is eased with tales of sacrifice and faith. ![]() Every event in both her and Zam’s journey is layered with Dodola’s religious metaphors. At the onset of the story, Dodola becomes the child wife of a Koranic scribe, giving her great insight into religious texts, which she uses as a measure to cope with her life’s challenges. We meet our heroes, Dodola and Zam as young orphaned children, connected by tragic circumstances. We see evidence of a fallen civilization on the brink of an environmental disaster, and the haunting degeneration of humanity. Habibi transports us to a fictional yet strangely familiar time and place, which feels almost post apocalyptic. Only this time, the tale is grander, deeper, and much more layered. By contrast, Habibi is a fictional tale, which shares to some extent Blanket’s themes of love, religion and sex. It is a stark contrast to Thompson’s previous mammoth novel, Blankets, a much gentler and highly personal autobiographical story about Thompson’s childhood, growing up in a very religious household while trying to navigate the guilt and wonder of sex and a first love. This book truly is an artistic masterpiece, an overload of obsessive details and rich visual content. ![]() ![]() ![]() (Ages 10 and older) -Emilie Coulter About the Author:īook Description Paperback.
