520 Originally published to wide critical acclaim in France,
where it elicited comparisons to Art Spiegelman's Maus,
Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi's wise, funny, and
heartbreaking memoir of growing up in Iran during the
Islamic Revolution. In powerful black-and-white comic
strip images, Satrapi tells the story of her life in
Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the
overthrow of the Shah's regime, the triumph of the Islamic
Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq.
The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed
Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran's last
emperors, Marjane bears witness to a childhood uniquely
entwined with the history of her country. Persepolis
paints an unforgettable portrait of daily life in Iran: of
the bewildering contradictions between home life and
public life and of the enormous toll repressive regimes
exact on the individual spirit. Marjane's child's-eye-view
of dethroned emperors, state-sanctioned whippings, and
heroes of the revolution allows us to learn as she does
the history of this fascinating country and of her own
extraordinary family. Intensely personal, profoundly
political, and wholly original, Persepolis is at once a
story of growing up and a stunning reminder of the human
cost of war and political repression. It shows how we
carry on, through laughter and tears, in the face of
absurdity. And, finally, it introduces us to an
irresistible little girl with whom we cannot help but fall
in love.
