Title: Persepolis: Story of a Childhood
Author: Marjane Satrapi
A graphic novel about the Iranian adolescence of Marjane Satrapi.
I loved this book! I'm not much of a graphic novel reader, so I'll admit I was highly skeptical when someone recommended it to me last year. But when I saw Satrapi interviewed a month or so ago about the movie version of the book, I decided I had to read it. You should read it too. Her drawings do a great job of juxtaposing the innocence of childhood and the horror of the Iranian revolution. I promise-- you'll love it!
