![]() This graphic novel autobiography depicts part of Marjane Satrapi's adolescence in Iran in the 1970s and 1980s. Iran was going through revolution and war at this time, but Marji was just a regular teen. She wants to buy jeans and Nikes, chat with her friends, and go to school. However, when her family and friends are imprisoned or killed by bombs, it is hard to be "normal." I have been hearing of this book for years, but just finally happened to pick it up at Dawn Treader. The graphics were excellent and really demanded my attention more than I have found with other graphic novels. Satrapi's story weaves in so many elements of adolescence, politics, war, family, and education that I enjoyed the feeling of learning about real things as I read.
