I love the art. The simple, black and white depictions of such horrific events, really brings it down to the perspective of a child being reared in a politically unstable environment. 

Endearing and deeply distressing. A powerful read.

Persepolis is a powerful read. As someone unfamiliar with the landscape of Iran, some of the town and city names were a little challenging to keep track of, but that doesn't take away from the impact of the story.

It's books like this that make it evermore apparent that an American "education" is incomplete at best. I didn't know 95% of the events Satrapi described, yet she presented her story in great detail, but in a way that was easy to follow and understand. She is a wonderful storyteller and provides rich details. And her artwork is both simple and evocative. I really enjoyed this graphic novel collection!
