 When I had finished reading Habibi, I thought, well, it's Orientalist, it's misogynist, but damn, he learned how to write Arabic calligraphy well. ... To my surprise, I discovered from reports of people who had seen Thompson read and discuss his work, that though he had learned the basics of the alphabet, the intricate calligraphy in the book was all traced from outside sources. ... But this is simply one more example of the shallowness that undergirds the entire work: a laudable impulse to learn more, to reverse prejudice, was followed by a lazy embrace of Burton over Said, of voyeurism over empowerment, and tracing over writing. Habibi is a beautiful book and a terrible book. I am grateful for how much it has offended me. I could almost burn it.  And that is Habibi’s ultimate strength. All its cleverness, all its density, all its intricacy, are brought together in the service of one simple but all-too-easily-forgotten point: There is no way through this life but with each other. That is the foundation for Thompson’s interlocking patterns, its self-evidence obscured from our view like the scratched-out shapes that form a letter. Thankfully we have a writer like Thompson around to focus our gaze.  Habibi, which the eye perceives as a celebration of life force, settles in the mind as a campaign of punishment.

Vielschichtig, mitreißend und in Bildern von opulenter Pracht ist HABIBI eine außergewöhnliche, epische Liebesgeschichte, eine eindringliche Parabel über das gemeinsame Erbe von Islam und Christentum und allem voran eine Ode an die Magie des Geschichtenerzählens.
Sechs Jahre nach seiner international erfolgreichen und vielfach preisgekrönten Graphic Novel BLANKETS legt Craig Thompson sein mit Spannung erwartetes Buch HABIBI vor - ein modernes Märchen aus TAUSENDUNDEINER NACHT.
