Persepolis 2

I've never blogged before. This is my first time. I really had no idea all of this chatter was even going on here. I love it. And I'm so glad that you're all enjoying Persepolis. Isn't the image of the little girl so compelling, if not just plain cute? The graphic novel format makes it easier to imagine that little girl growing up with all of that oppression and confusion around her. I finished P2 and am happy to lend it out to anyone interested in following Satrapi's story further. It picks up her life in Austria, where she's confronted with "everyday" problems like falling in love, trying to fit it, etc. She has a hard time reconciling her inner struggles with such mundane problems when at home her family is dealing with death and war daily. The book gets really good when she decides to return to Iran.
