I've read and taught Persepolis, and am up to reading Embroideries and Chicken with Plums. Is anyone with me?:)
I read Chicken with Plums this year. Persepolis is what I'm looking forward to read soon.
I've read Persepolis (love re-reading this) & would love to check out her other books. Will be keeping an eye on this!

Reading Persepolis as we speak. Glad to see she's getting attention.
oh thanks for that, Reem! Hope you're enjoying it, Paul! I loved Persepolis as a film, Satrapi worked on that too if I'm not mistaken?
Ha, was just saying to a friend last night how Persepolis as a film had the best Eye of the Tiger video montage scene! Also recently re-watched it -- clever combination of light-heartedness and intensity. Might re-read the book after my current read!Curious to see what her other books are like, if the story-telling is as strong in those as in Persepolis.

Thank you, Dhiyanah! It is a very enjoyable read. I look forward to the movie but have been holding it off until I finish my read. So far, it's quite humorous, edifying & very informative. Loving it!

Glad to hear it, would love to know what you think about the book vs. film after your first read/watch -- happy reading!

Thank you! I will surely write a review of the book & in those comments leave my thoughts about the movie, as well. Looking forward to it. The book is riddled with such sorrow & such humor. It speaks to the perseverance of humanity.
