mel, The graphic novel is very good! I hope you get a chance to read it.

You can certainly link to this post if you’d like. Sorry it took me so long to respond! It looks like you already posted about Persepolis on your blog…

@Kim: thanks! I live in Australia, so I wasn’t sure if it was around me. It looks like the DVD is available through Amazon coming June 24. Just FYI for anyone who wants to know.

I’m not sure if it’s been released mainstream, I saw it in an artsy theater downtown so you might be able to find it in a theater near you

I haven’t read Persepolis yet but I plan to. If you’re interested in reading another graphic novel I’d recommend Fun Home by Alison Bechdel. It’s another ‘graphic memoir’ and it’s incredible. I highly recommend it.

@Kim: The novel was like watching a movie–almost. I look forward to seeing the movie. Is it a movie in theaters in the US or is it a take-home rental already?

I haven’t read the graphic novel, but I did see the movie, and I think it has many of the same things you noticed in the book. The movie is in French, with English subtitles, which I suppose is sort of in the same vein as having to read and ingest pictures at the same time. I loved how well Marji was able to combine the sense of childhood bewilderment with the horrifying things that were happening in Iran — I don’t know much about the history of the country, so I felt like I was coming into understanding what was happening at the same pace she was. I can only imagine the novel is even better than the movie.

Great! I’ve added yours above. Apparently, it’s the thing to read right now.
