What a wonderful page. For anyone with an Iranian friend in their 50s or 60s who was forced to leave after the revolution in 79, this graphic novel is a must-read to gain even the smallest understanding of how badly their world was torn apart. Persepolis is a devastating tale of the betrayal of a smart and talented people, and 40+ years has not dimmed the hurt and pain behind it.

That is exactly what this GN is about, but it’s told through the eyes of a young girl who doesn’t understand what is happening around her. And why it is happening. It is something absolutely stunning. A real masterpiece.

I taught Persepolis for a couple years to ninth graders -- it's a remarkable work.  Congrats on landing a page!
