Marjane Satrapi’s: The Complete Persepolis is Marjane’s autobiography. Marjane tells her childhood in Tehran during the Islamic revolution in black and white comic strip format. It is Marjane’s own story with a very interesting insight of the Iran’s woman lives. There is also a movie made out of Marjane’s book which I have seen by borrowing a copy from the local library. Both the book and the movie are “visualized,” but in my opinion, the book is better in terms of presenting the story with conversations in words. It is just NOT the same in the movie.
This book also covers many issues such as history in the region, the moral laws in Iran, the Iranian’s culture and customs, and view of Iranians towards the West.
