Thompson’s books have been banned before. The book’s inclusion in the exhibit didn’t surprise me. Memorial Library’s display of the most frequently banned books last year was Habibi, a graphic novel by Craig Thompson. 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. With Habibi, Craig Thompson has created an epic love story, an adventure tale, and a lapsed Christian's hymn to the beauty of Islamic art.' -Peter Murphy, Irish Times Book Description Habibi is a complex, beautiful and powerful follow-up to Craig Thompson's internationally acclaimed and award-winning Blankets.
