[She Is Too Fond Of Books ...] Book Review: *Persepolis* by Marjane Satrapi | She Is Too Fond Of ...: Since then, this old and great civilization has been discussed mostly in connection with fundamentalism, fanaticism, and terrorism.  As an Iranian who has lived more than half of my life in Iran, I know that this image is far from the truth.  This is why writing Persepolis was so important to me.  I believe that an entire nation should not be judged by the wrongdoings of a few extremists.  I also don’t want those Iranians who lost their lives in prisons defending freedom, who died in the war against Iraq, who suffered under various repressive regimes, or who were forced to leave their families and flee their homeland to be forgotten.

[Radical Readers & Feminisms for Dummies] Persepolis Discussion « Radical Readers & Feminisms for Dummies: Persepolis is the memoir in graphic novel form of Marjane Satrapi’s childhood growing up in wartime Iran, her adolescence spent in Austria, and her return to Iran and all the trials and tribulations that come with that.  Growing up during the Islamic Revolution and a war with Iraq in Iran, Marjane had to learn quickly about the cruel realities of the world.  Her family was outspoken (as much as they could be out of fear of persecution) against the new regime and the war and encouraged Marjane to develop her own voice through education.  As a teenager living by herself in Vienna, Marjane had to face the confusion of adolescence alone as well as trying to stay true to her Iranian heritage but also struggling to fit in to the European culture.  Returning to Iran was just as difficult for Marjane.  After spending four years in Europe, she was too Western for Iran but too Iranian for the West.

[Memory Wave Transmission - Noise, drone, books, reviews] Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis and its cultural, educational ...: By dividing her life into comic strip chapters, rather than just a long narrative, Satrapi has represented the important themes and events in her life in such a way that she follows a chronological order of situations that were very moving and important to who she is as a person. Some of the topics that Satrapi chooses to focus on deal with the enforcement of beliefs and religion, what it means to be a hero, the effects of being a martyr, the importance of one’s own views, the power of a nation and its demonstrations, the coming of age in a divided nation, and the effects of war on society.

[Mellart] Mellart: Persepolis (2007): Satrapi and Parronaud realized that the usual codes in animation didn't seem to fit, so they used movie-style editing, with a great many jump-cuts; even from an aesthetic viewpoint, they drew their sources from cinematic techniques.

[The F-Word: Latest features and reviews] 'Freedom always has a price' - The F-Word: One example of how the adaptation from page to screen really brought home the importance of the story is in the depiction of the bombing campaigns on Tehran during the Iran/Iraq war. On the page this is shocking enough, but it takes a big screen adaptation, in HD, to bring home something approaching the true horror of how it must have felt: The explosions, the rattling houses, the panic and fear…

[Latest Spark Blog Entries] What Sophia Recommends: This short book by the author of Persepolis provides a glimpse into the personal realm of Iranian women from several generations as they gossip over tea, revealing their experiences and thoughts about the men, sex, courtship and marriage in their lives. Their stories are sometimes hilarious, a bit risqué, occasionally poignant, and shed light on the sexual politics in a society where women outwardly lead very conservative lives.
