torresbri 's review for:

The Complete Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
5.0

Second time reading this one (but first attempt in doing so in French, jiji).

I first read it when I was in high school. Six years later (and after living alone in Mexico and Europe) this book hit me completely different and made me relate to 14-18 year old Marjane in a new way.

Besides being an autobiography that also shows the complex Iranian socio-cultural context, it is a portrait of rebellion, integrity, and self expression.

Thank you, Marjane Satrapi for being brave and staying authentic ✨
