After I finished the first Persepolis only a few weeks back, I knew I had to read Persepolis 2. So when my collegue dangled it in front of me, I immediately took the bait.


I’ll read this after I finish the other book.

Well, let me just flip through some pages.

I’ll just read the first few pages.

And soon, I was already halfway through with it.

May as well just finish it.

In this volume, Marji records her experiences as a foreign teenager living in free Vienna, then going back to Iran, a foreigner living in repressive Tehran. A poignant story of the stuggles of adolscence, peer acceptance, self-identity, culture, and love.
