Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return by Marjane Satrapi

4.0

Once this limit is crossed, the only way to bear the unbearable is to laugh at it.

Satrapi goes from knowing precisely what her roots are to becoming the unwanted immigrant, and then returning to a country vastly different from the one she left. Sweet, morbidly funny, heartbreaking, with a fitting symmetry to its ending. A true coming of age story, believable again because of its subjectivity. Reading this with the knowledge of the current status of the author is deeply satisfying.
