The Angoulême Awards 2015 – Riad Sattouf To Chris Ware

2-3-PALMARES

The Angoulême Awards have now all been presented, as well as the Grand Prix Award to Katsuhiro Otomo and the Grand Prix Special Prize to Charlie Hebdo. And it wouldn't be the only reference to that magazine in the prizes…

The Gold Award for Best Album went to L'Arabe Du Futur Vol 1 by Riad Sattouf, published by Allary. It's an autobiography about the life of a Charlie Hebdo contributor, showing his childhood in Syria and Libya. His father, a Syrian panarabist, believed he could improve his people as an university teacher, but his hopes were repeatedly dashed by the harsh realities of those countries. Possibly a perfect reason for a US/UK publisher to pick it up…
