Description
“Delectable. . . Dances with drama and insouciant wit.― –The New York Times Book Review“A
stunning graphic memoir hailed as a wholly original achievement in the form. Thereâ€s still a startling
freshness to the book. It wonâ€t age. In inky shadows and simple, expressive lines— reminiscent of
Ludwig Bemelmansâ€s “Madeline―—Satrapi evokes herself and her schoolmates coming of age in a
world of protests and disappearances . . . A stark, shocking impact.― — Parul Sehgal, “The 50
Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years― The New York Times “A dazzlingly singular achievement. . . .
Striking a perfect balance between the fantasies and neighborhood conspiracies of childhood and the
mounting lunacy of Khomeini's reign, she's like the Persian love child of Spiegelman and Lynda Barry.―
–Salon “A brilliant and unusual graphic memoir. . . . [Told] in a guileless voice . . . accompanied by a
series of black-and-white drawings that dramatically illustrate how a repressive regime deforms ordinary
lives.―–Vogue 'Odds are, youâ€ll be too busy being entertained to realize how much youâ€ve
learned until you turn the last page.―–Elle.com “[A] self-portrait of the artist as a young girl, rendered
in graceful black-and-white comics that apply a childlike sensibility to the bleak lowlights of recent Iranian
history. . . . [Her] style is powerful; it persuasively communicates confusion and horror through the eyes of a
precocious preteen.― –Village Voice ' This is an excellent comic book, that deserves a place withÂ
Joe Sacco and even Art Spiegelman. In her bold black and white panels, Satrapi eloquently reassertsÂ
the moral bankruptcy of all political dogma and religious conformity; how it bullies, how it murders, and
how it may always be ridiculed by individual rebellions of the spirit and the intellect.' --Zadie Smith,
author of The Autograph Man and White Teeth 'You've never seen anything like Persepolis—
the intimacy of a memoir, the irresistability of a comic book, and the political depth of a the conflict between
fundamentalism and democracy. Marjane Satrapi may have given us a new genre.' --Gloria Steinem I grew
up reading the Mexican comics of Gabriel Vargas, graduated to the political teachings of Rius, fell under the
spell of Linda Barry, Art Spiegelman, and now I am a fan of Marjane Satrapi. Her stories thrummed in my
heart for days. Persepolis is part history book, part Scheherazade, astonishing as only true stories can be. I
learned much about the history of Iran, but more importantly, it gave me hope for humanity in these unkind
times. —Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Streetand Caramelo I thought [Persepolis
] was a superb piece of work, not only for the child's eye view—the developing child's eye view—of a
society unknown to many of us in the west, and feared and suspected in proportion to being unknown....
Satrap has found a way of depicting human beings that is both simple and immediately comprehensible,
AND is almost infinitely flexible. Anyone who's tried to draw a simplified version of a human face knows
how immensely difficult it is not only to give the faces a range of expression, but also to maintain identities
from one frame to the next. It's an enormous technical accomplishment.' --Philip Pullman, author ofThe
Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass. 'I cannot praise enough Marjane Satrapi's

moving account of growing up as a spirited young girl in revolutionary and war-time Iran. Persepolis
is disarming and often humorous but ultimately it is shattering.' -- Joe Sacco, author of Palestineand
Safe Area GorazdeThis witty, moving and illuminating book demonstrates graphically why the future of
Iran lies with neither the clerics nor the American Empire. --Tariq Ali Author of The Clash of
Fundamentalisms: Crusades, Jihads and Modernity 'I found the work immensely moving with depths of
nuance and wisdom that one might never expect to find in a comic book. Itâ€s a powerful, mysterious,
enchanting story that manages to reflect a great swath of Iranian contemporary history within the sensitive,
intimate tale of a young girlâ€s coming-of-age. I didnâ€t want it to end!' —Diana Abu-Jaber, Author
of Crescent and Arabian Jazz 'A rare and chilling memoir that offers every reader a personal, honest
portrait of Iran's recent political and cultural history. Ms. Satrapi's provocative, graphic narrative of life in
Iran before and after the Islamic revolution is an extraordinary testament to the level of human suffering
experienced by Iranians tossed from one political hypocrisy to another. Aside from the humanistic
dimension, the beautifully minimalist Persepolis gives further evidence of Marjane Satrapi's sensitivity and
superb skill as an artist.' --Shirin Neshat, visual artist/filmmaker 'Readers who have always wanted to l
