Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return
by Marjane Satrapi
Persepolis is no longer printed as two separate books, so when I finished Part I and didn't have Part II, it turned into a quest that took me around bookstores both in Ann Arbor and New York. Like many quests, most of the story was in the side roads I look along the way. The used bookstore I visited for the first time after walking by it for years, the tattered Ptolomaic maps I left the store with once I learned that they didn't have any graphic novels. The boy at the comic book store who encouraged me to buy Lords of Scotland, which I now carry around in my bag at all times, just in case.
I finally found it during my first visit to Greenlight Bookstore on a hot afternoon when I felt homesick and directionless. If I believe in any magic, this would be it.

At times a touching, relatable coming of age story, at other times educational, stirring, and inspiring. Also like most quests, I find myself satisfied in the ending I found, but disappointed that it's over. If you have any suggestions, challenges, thoughts, I'd love to hear them.
