I think I have found my new favorite graphic novel, I just adored every moment of Persepolis! Marjane Satrapi is incredible at explaining complex political periods and ideas conceivably in few words and transmitting the honest reality of Iranian life. Though she did have the most amazing source material – her own life. Transformed into a graphic novel it offers everything a reader might want: humor, education, art and a rollercoaster of emotions. In the end I felt slightly disappointed, but only because I couldn’t follow Satrapi’s journey any longer.
