In the eighth year of the series - "Seattle Reads" - The Seattle Public Library has selected "Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood" (Pantheon Books, 2003) by Marjane Satrapi. "Persepolis" paints an unforgettable portrait of daily life in Iran: of the bewildering contradictions between home and public life and of the enormous toll repressive regimes exact on the individual spirit. Marjane's child's-eye-view of dethroned emperors, state-sanctioned whippings, and heroes of the revolution allows us to learn the history of this fascinating country and of her own extraordinary family. |
