| Thanks heaps for that recommendation - I picked it up yesterday and it's fantastic. I cried like a baby! Anyone who hasn't read Persepolis, you should really pick it up. The main character is a kid who's around ten at the time of the revolution, and it makes for a great read if you don't know much about Iranian history - because she doesn't either, and you learn with her. The first volume's arc, from elation as the Shah's regime comes to an end through the growing paranoia and return of repression under the fundamentalists, is harrowing and sweet and often hilarious. |
