York Times Notable Book A Time Magazine “Best Comix of the Year” A San
Francisco Chronicle and Los Angeles Times Best-seller Wise, funny, and
heartbreaking, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi’s graphic 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 and of the bewildering
contradictions between home life and public life. 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 reminder of the human cost of war and political repression. It shows how
we carry on, with 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.
