Pittagoda Books: Habibi Pittagoda

    • TV & Film

Sangeetha and Rohit discuss the graphic novel Habibi, written by Craig Thompson.

Set in a fairy tale landscape, a strange and timeless place called Wanatolia, Habibi tells the story of two individuals - Dodola and Zam, both orphaned at a young age and brought together through chance, circumstances and shared misery. They grow up through the book and discover their love changing from that of a mother-child (as a provider-dependant) to siblings (as playmates) to lovers.

Ever since its publication, Habibi has been called mysterious, racist and everything in between. Listen to this conversation about this controversial book.
