4.5
Persepolis is graphic novel written & Illustrated by Iranian-French artist Marjane Satrapi. It is a dramatized account on her life during the Iranian Revelation. Satrapi's story was both humorous & informative on the war & cultural shift that Iran have undergone, in addition to how her & her family coped with war. Their continuous fight for normalcy no matter what the risks where was impressive. Throughout the story, Marjane is constantly on a journey to find out where she belongs through childhood and adulthood. It is an excellent Read.
Graphic: Gun violence, Police brutality, and Religious bigotry
Moderate: Alcohol
