MarJane Satrapi



Alright, so the holidays are over, but I'm enjoying a quiet three day weekend and considering the books I read over the break. AJ gave me this one for xmas and if you haven't read any Marjane Satrapi, you should rush out and get "Persepolis"!

They are all graphic novels and the stories and the pictures work very well together. Satrapi tells a great story mostly from her or her family's point of view in Iran. I haven't read "Embroideries", about her life in France, but it's on my list.

I recommend Chicken with Plums (a story about her uncle), but you shouldn't start with it. Start with "Persepolis".
