I don't know if I'd have the ovaries to say half the things that Marjane does to authority figures. ( ) Oh how I would like to read and enjoy graphic novels! I find my vision doesn't like them, though - I can't seem to track the story well. I blame my brother Christopher, who never wanted to share his Mad Magazines, thus forcing me to read text like "Little Women" and "Black Beauty" during my formative years. That said, if I could read graphic novels, this would be one I would leap into. What I could read was thought provoking and fascinating. In another life, perhaps...

Persepolis is the story of Marjane Satrapi's childhood and coming of age within a large and loving family in Tehran during the Islamic Revolution; of the contradictions between private life and public life in a country plagued by political upheaval; of her high school years in Vienna facing the trails of adolescence far from her family; of her homecoming--both sweet and terrible; and, finally, of her self-imposed exile from her beloved homeland.
