The Complete Persepolis
by Marjane Satrapi
Like the presentation of the book, Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi expresses complexity. The images are visually distinct: stark at times, but filled with all the complications of her life. Marjane is allowed the freedom of thought in her household and this, partnered with the support of her parents, encourages her skepticism about the world and permits her personal development and identity exploration. Marjane sees the horror of war, but because of her circumstances, is able to flee and emerge into another life. When she is no longer a part of her original community, she can still exist in the world, not with full support, but with the support of those who matter, including her parents. Their support allows Marjane to continue her education and pursue what she loves.
Persepolis is one of the best books I have read in a long time; I'm not sure what took me so long to get around to reading it, but it was brilliantly written and I now want to read the rest of Satrapi's works.
