[Jenny's Books] Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi « Jenny's Books: I don’t know what I can really say about Persepolis that hasn’t been said already.  What I love about the first volume of Persepolis is that it’s always about how Marjane interprets the events around her, much more than it is about the events themselves.  As she and her family live through the Islamic Revolution, watching its agenda shift and their country change around them, little Marjane acts on what she thinks she understands.  There’s a lovely bit where she insists on spending all her time with an uncle who’s a political dissident.  Although she is initially interested in him because of his history of persecution by the government, their relationship is very sweet, in the end, and his death leads to a major change in Marjane’s ideas for her future.
