| Persepolis is the tale of one girl's childhood in Iran from 1980 until 1984. In the aftermath of the Islamic Revolution Mari is a member of a wealthy and educated family living under Islamic rule. Satrapi offers an insider's view of Iran in the early '80's. This graphic novel is at once funny and heartbreaking. It is a portrait of open rebellion and the small quiet rebellions that takes place under the guise of conformity.
