The pill
Marjane Satrapi's comic strip memoir, Vol. 2
August 31, 2004
iranian.com
Part one of Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical graphic
novel [Persepolis (Pantheon,
2003) - see excerpt]
found her surviving war, the Islamic Revolution, religious oppression
and the execution of several close friends. If part two [Persepolis
2 (Pantheon, 2004)] covers less traumatic events, it's also
more subtle and, in some ways, more moving. Sent by her liberal,
intellectual parents from Tehran to Vienna to get an education
and escape the religious police, rebellious but vulnerable teenage
Satrapi learns about secular freedom's pitfalls. -- Publishers
