Persepolis is a graphic novel / comic (depending on what you want to call them) telling the story of the author’s childhood in Iran.
This was great on so many levels. The comic as a medium worked really well for telling the story, it gave me a good insight into the changes she experienced as Iran changed, and seeing everything through a child’s eyes is always interesting. Iran as a country was interesting because I know so little about it – “Not without my daughter” (book, not film) being the sum of my knowledge. I think I’m less ignorant now.
