This is an essay written by Marjane Setrapi, the creator of Persepolis (both the graphic novel and Oscar nominated animated feature) who is living in exile in France. I was wondering what she thought of the protests in Iran, as she grew up during the Shah’s reign & the Islamic Revolution. Check out Persepolis on DVD if you can… it is wonderful!
