i am still a sucker for oblivious west asian girls indulging in worlds completely different from theirs. which introduces questions of self integrity. 

def a book everyone should read, a great memoir that touches Iranian history.

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!
