505 0  Hostage / Guy Delisle -- Poppies of Iraq / Brigitte 
       Findakly, Lewis Trondheim. 
520    "Poppies of Iraq is Brigitte Findakly's nuanced tender 
       chronicle of her relationship with her homeland Iraq, co-
       written and drawn by her husband, the acclaimed cartoonist
       Lewis Trondheim. In spare and elegant detail, they share 
       memories of her middle class childhood touching on 
       cultural practices, the education system, Saddam Hussein's
       state control, and her family's history as Orthodox 
       Christians in the arab world. Poppies of Iraq is intimate 
       and wide-ranging; the story of how one can become 
       separated from one's homeland and still feel intimately 
       connected yet ultimately estranged. Signs of an oppressive
       regime permeate a seemingly normal life: magazines arrive 
       edited by customs; the color red is banned after the 
       execution of General Kassim; Baathist militiamen are 
       publicly hanged and school kids are bussed past them to 
       bear witness. As conditions in Mosul worsen over her 
       childhood, Brigitte's father is always hopeful that life 
       in Iraq will return to being secular and prosperous. The 
       family eventually feels compelled to move to Paris, 
       however, where Brigitte finds herself not quite belonging 
       to either culture. Trondheim brings to life Findakly's 
       memories to create a poignant family portrait that covers 
       loss, tragedy, love, and the loneliness of exile."--
