"Persepolis 2" by Marjane Satrapi
This is the second volume following her first graphic novel that focuses on her growing up in Iran and then leaving Iran as a young adult. This volume is about her time in Austria and then back in Iran. I think I liked the first volume more...somehow the drawings were more charming but I enjoyed this one as well.
I just finished reading this book so I was thrilled to see that an animated film has been made and it opened TIFF. Satrapi is one of the directors! Good on her as it sounds like it was a great success. I hope it will be shown at the Palm Springs Film Festival in January when we're down there.
I now start my day on the computer by checking my cousin's photolog and the Daily Dose of ImageryThe "Daily Dose" fellow posts a photo every day which you can pick up with this link. To get the photo about the TIFF (Toronto Film Festival) you will have to pick up the Sept 7 post (use the previous day option). For the Sept 7 post he has some photos of the film festival and also a photo of Satrapi and the other director.
