Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return by Marjane Satrapi
5.0
I have a love/hate relationship with graphic novels in general but I'm a huge fan of the graphic memoir.
What I Liked:
The art. The style is simple and it evokes a realistic image. The coloring is only in black and white, which worked to emphasize the balance between the images and the main story. I felt that Satrapi's images impacted the story and emphasized the message of discovering your identity as a young women.
The message. The novel deals with identity as a women and also explores living in Iran as a women. It conveys issues of gender and politics in a way that helps the reader understand everything.
The writing. Compared to the other graphic memoir I read for my Women and Literature course this one was written extremely well and I flew through the novel.
I recommend checking out this graphic memoir is a informative and eye-opening read.
