It is the chronicle of a girlhood and adolescence at once outrageous and familiar, a young life entwined with the history of her country yet filled with the universal trials and joys of growing up.<br><br>Edgy, searingly observant, and candid, often heartbreaking but threaded throughout with raw humor and hard-earned wisdom--<i>Persepolis</i> is a stunning work from one of the most highly regarded, singularly talented graphic artists at work today. 6127170 book 2003 The Complete Persepolis total:5538|5:2624|4:2191|3:638|2:72|1:13| 5538 23955 7726 937 4 7 false false Sun Mar 02 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 18 15:31:27 -0800 2008 Sun Mar 02 21:19:04 -0800 2008 Maus?" -- and if I were to answer that question, I would say, I suppose, that I thought that Maus was more compelling, with more classically heroic characters, detailed, careful artwork (and-I-mean-come-ON...more...]]> 5 4 false false Thu Jul 17 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 15 15:04:38 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 18 07:09:05 -0700 2008 The Complete Persepolis brings them all together for the first time.
