Review: Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood

Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood by Marjane Satrapi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I saw the 2007 French-Iranian animated biographical film based on this on cable a few years back. That intrigued me and finally I found time and opportunity to read Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical graphic novel this weekend. I found it very moving and insightful; economically and artfully enlightening on girl's life in Iran from Communist connections to quite rebellion under the theocracy to war with Iraq and transition to life as an ex-pat.
