Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return
by Marjane Satrapi
*3.5 ⭐️
There’s not really too much I can say in this review that I didn’t say in. My review for volume 1, but I’ll try.
• Again that art style is simple and conveys the story really well.
• I learned some more whilst reading this one, things I never would’ve learned otherwise.
• I think this one touched more on identity than the last volume. We see Marji as she moves to Austria and how she tries to fit in. She’s never ashamed of her culture, but she struggles with how much to talk about as she just wants to fit in.
• I don’t think I really talked about it in my last review but I highly enjoyed Marjane’s voice. She definitely doesn’t paint herself in a positive light and knows that she’s messed up, but she’s an incredibly passionate person that fights for what she believes in.
If you haven’t already I’d highly recommend picking these graphic novels up. Memoirs and biographies are not my favourite so the graphic format makes it much more digestible.
