Here-and throughout-Abirached shares (and readers feel) a loss that cannot be named. Abirached was born during the Lebanese Civil War, which lasted from 1975 to 1990 and had an estimated death toll of 150,000 people. When an attack forced Abirached, her schoolmates, and teachers to stay at school overnight, she realized that “our teachers were as scared as we were.” In the middle of her account, Abirached abandons words and uses scratchy white lines on black pages to draw remembered moments of peace: a jar of olives, a swing, a coop full of chickens. Abirached’s younger brother assembled a collection of shrapnel, and the author recalls watching the Olympics (“I remember Florence Griffith Joyner’s nails”). By nationality, She is French, and currently, her food habit is mix vegetarian & non-vegetarian. Currently, She is living in Beirut Governorate, and working as Comics artist. Zeina age is 39 years as of in 2021 and his birthplace is Beirut Governorate. There was no water for showers, but an endless supply of cigarettes. Zeina Abirached was born on 1 January 1981 in Beirut Governorate. Then again, she was just a child, so perhaps my expectations were a bit high. The art is fantastic, but I kind of wanted something more. Her mother tired of getting her windshield replaced every time a shell hit, and she eventually drove without it. 'I Remember Beirut' by Zeina Abirached is her memoir of growing up in Beirut during the Christian and Muslim war in the 1980s. Collecting memories introduced via the recurring phrase “I remember,” Abirached’s prose and artwork convey, with grace and humor, the way her family’s life during the war shifted from mundane to ominous and back again. As with Abirached’s debut, A Game for Swallows, this b&w graphic memoir of growing up in Lebanon during that country’s civil war invites comparison to Persepolis.
