A review by dnietoperafan
Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood by Marjane Satrapi

4.0

This story has been stored in my memory like an old film. Black and white images; white noise-filled dialogues that scratch that unreachable itch in your brain; and a true story that makes you ponder on the world and its systems. Satrapi hooked me from the very beginning, she educated me, held my hand through her trauma, and gently eased me into her chaotic childhood. I feel like this memoir was meant to be a graphic novel.
I would recommend this book to everyone. It has everything.
