The Complete Persepolis opens Goodreads in a new tab

Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical graphic memoir of growing up in Iran during and after the Islamic Revolution. Told in stark black-and-white panels, it follows Marjane from a spirited childhood in Tehran, through war, political repression and family loss, to her teenage years in Europe and her return home. Funny, searing and humane, this single volume collects both parts of the acclaimed story, exploring political resistance, identity and cultural displacement.
