Persepolis is the story of Satrapi&#8217;s unforgettable childhood and coming of age within a large and loving family in Tehran during the Islamic Revolution; of the contradictions between private and public life in a country plagued by political upheaval; of her high school years in Vienna facing the trials of adolescence far from her family; of her homecoming&#8211;both sweet and terrible; and, finally, of her self-imposed exile from her beloved homeland. It is the chronicle of a girlhood and adolescence at once outrageous and familiar, a young life entwined with the history of her country yet filled with the universal trials and joys of growing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edgy, searingly observant, and candid, often heartbreaking but threaded throughout with raw humor and hard-earned wisdom&#8211;Persepolis is a stunning work from one of the most highly regarded, singularly talented graphic artists at work today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please watch this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/videos\/tv\/2022\/09\/26\/amanpour-iran-protests-marjane-satrapi-persopolis.cnn\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/videos\/tv\/2022\/09\/26\/amanpour-iran-protests-marjane-satrapi-persopolis.cnn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CNN interview with Marjane Satrapi <\/a>conducted by Christiane Amanpour. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BEST SELLER \u2022 A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK \u2022 Wise, funny, and heartbreaking, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi\u2019s acclaimed graphic memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. \u201cA wholly original achievement\u2026.
