Perseoplis is a journal of sorts of Satrapi's life in Tehran, Iran during the early years of the Iranian Revolution. Part historical, part expose, this is an emotionally difficult but beautiful read.
Satrapi grew up witnessing abuses and injustices in Tehran and, at the age of 14, was sent to a French school in Vienna, Austria by her parents. She stayed in Austria through high school, experienced rough times that found her homeless and sick with pneumonia.
Satrapi returned to Iran, attended college, met her husband but divorced shortly after marrying. Later, she moved to France, where she currently lives and works.
Persepolis is educational on many levels. There are questions of collective history, censorship, abuse, religion, family and government.
Available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. ISBN# 9780375714832.
