A review by kimmag92
The Complete Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi

challenging dark emotional informative inspiring sad tense fast-paced

4.5

Persepolis is a graphic novel classic for a reason. Satrapi deftly illustrates her experience growing up in revolutionary Iran as a family on the left, her experience as a teen in Europe, and her return home. I particularly enjoyed the part which focused on her girlhood in Iran. I would really like to know more about her parents and how they came to be socialists and communists within Iran and their feelings towards the revolution and their decision to stay there. I'd also love to learn more about how Satrapi felt about returning to Europe and the trajectory of modern Iran.
