The man at the comic book shop who sold the book to me described it as “radical daria.” I’d say that sums it up pretty well.

dark emotional inspiring fast-paced

 Persepolis is graphic novel written & Illustrated by Iranian-French artist Marjane Satrapi. It is a dramatized account on her life during the Iranian Revelation. Satrapi's story was both humorous & informative on the war & cultural shift that Iran have undergone, in addition to how her & her family coped with war. Their continuous fight for normalcy no matter what the risks where was impressive. Throughout the story, Marjane is constantly on a journey to find out where she belongs through childhood and adulthood. It is an excellent Read.
