this sounds like a lot of fun; and much better than the light parades (in parks and residential areas).

wonderful review of this important book. I hear there was an animation done of this story but have yet to see it.
If you haven't read Embroideries, I would recommend it; although it has sensitive moments, as well, just the same I don't recall them as being strongly depicted. Embroideries has been hit or miss with fans of Persepolis, but I found the glimpse into Satrapi's world/past fascinating--especially this female world.

This is a great feature, and thanks for the recommendations. I have found immense satisfaction with every Australian author I've come across, the most recent being Gail Jones and her novel Sorry (via Europa Editions) [to borrow from Wiki] Sorry "explores the major themes of Australian Aboriginal-White relations, the isolation and despair of farm life, the Stolen Generations, and life in World War II in Australia." The Title's meaning is steeped in Australian history/culture. Besides providing insight and awareness, the writing is just plain beautiful.
