Has anyone seen "Persepolis" the animated movie by Marjane Satrapi? Has anybody read her graphic novels, and would you recommend them? ------------- This user has left the PA fora, but will occasionally post reviews so as to support artists. |

I read the "Graphic novels" that the animation film are taken from and hope to see it soon!
Great stuff and gives us another hindsight on these event as seen from someone actually concerned and not through a westerner's eyes. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I've read the first part of her graphic novels and am planning on reading further. It's very good!
It reminds me a bit of Maus by Art Spiegelman: putting a horrifying real life story in a very creative form.

Having read the four tomes, I don't think Marjane would qualify her experiences as horrifying and she's rather not too conclusively against that Islamic revolution. The third tome is mostly of her Austrian and French schoolings, which were probably not her favorite experiences.
I simlply couldn't get past the third chapter of Maus. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
