Reviews

[Marilyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good companion to the autobiographical graphic memoir with chapter by chapter short summaries, major themes identified and explained, and a succinct summary of Iran’s modern history beginning with 1925. Not nearly as thorough as Litcharts in its analysis or chapter summaries but the treatment of themes in this guide does a better job at identifying Satrapi’s main theses.
