An Iranian Metamorphosis by Mana Neyestani

4.0

I really enjoyed this graphic novel. It draws a pretty clear parallel with Kafka’s Metamorphosis (if you couldn’t guess from the title, but with drawn out processes and bureaucracy like The Trial. The symbolism in this is powerful and gives you a glimpse into the life of this cartoonist imprisoned for a comic strip he wrote in the children’s section of an Iranian newspaper.
