“I realized then that I didn’t understand anything. I read all the books I could.” —The Complete Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi

A chronicle of the Iranian Revolution, a feminist manifesto, and a coming-of-age story in one, Persepolis has simultaneously become a classroom staple and a hot-button banned book, both lauded and challenged for its unflinching look at Iran’s history and the universal trials of growing up.

Marjane Satrapi Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood / unknown / Clementine von Radics / Clementine von Radics / image (unknown) quote (Richard Siken Crush) / Louise Glück from Unpainted Door, "Poems 1962-2012" / unknown / image (unknown) quote (Phoebe Bridgers Moon Song)

i. Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood

[ "What is childhood like? It's a little like dying, a little like being born. Which is to say, it's nothing you can remember, but you know there was blood." ]

ii. unknown

[ Floating cutout of a wolf on a black background. Text surrounds the image. "NOTHING WILL BE LEFT OF ME / BUT A MEMORY / BUT EVEN THAT WILL DIE OFF TOO" ]

iii. Clementine von Radics

[ "Every time a man yells / you are seven years old again / and he is packing that suitcase / once more. Picking you up by the neck, / teaching you obedience. To be soft, / like the belly of a fish / exposed to a knife." ]

iv. Clementine von Radics

[ "When I imagine myself I am barely there." ]

v. Richard Siken, Crush

[ The background image is of two black men standing face to face. The man of the left holds the back of the man on the right's head. They are posed intimately with their foreheads touching. The words are cut out like a collage and placed in the middle of the image. "he / touches / you, / like a / prayer / for which / no / words / exist, / and you / feel / your heart / taking / root / in your / body, / like / you've / discovered / something / you didn't / even / have / a name / for." ]

vi. Louise Glück, Unpainted Door

[ Screenshot of a tumblr post from @/weltenwellen "I remember my childhood as a long wish to be elsewhere." Louise Glück from "Unpainted Door", Poems 1962-2012 ]

vii. unknown

[ "You can never leave home. / You take it with you no matter where you go. Home is between your teeth, under your fingernails, in the hair follicles, in your smile, in the ride of your hips, in the passage of your breasts." ]

viii. Phoebe Bridgers, Moon Song

[ Edited collage. The background image is of a teenage boy laying on a pile of books while his dog lays with it's chin on his neck. The words are cut on paper at the top and bottom of the image. There are silver stars sporadically placed on the image. "so i will wait for the next time you want me / like a dog with a bird at your door" ]

«En la vida encontrarás a muchos imbéciles. Si te hieren, piensa que es su estupidez la que les empuja a hacerte daño… Porque no hay nada peor en el mundo que el rencor y la venganza… Mantén siempre tu dignidad, tu integridad y la fidelidad a ti misma.» ("Persépolis")

"A banned book is always a good book. After all, what better company to be in than Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain?"—Marjane Satrapi, in the new introduction to the anniversary edition of Persepolis

Read the classic graphic memoir that remains "urgent, necessary reading" (Kirkus Reviews) twenty years after it was originally created—the story of Marjane Satrapi's unforgettable childhood and coming of age in Tehran during the Iranian Revolution.

Everyone needs to read/watch Persepolis. It's about a girl growing up in Iran in from the 70s and onward. It's one of the most challenged books (ppl are trying to ban it from schools). I can't describe how important these books are to me you just gotta read them

"Intensely personal, profoundly political, and wholly original, Persepolis is at once a story of growing up and a reminder of the human cost of war and political repression. It shows how we carry on, with laughter and tears, in the face of absurdity."
