Marjane Satrapi was ten years old at the start of the Iranian Revolution, and her comics memoir Persepolis explores what it was like to grow up in that environment. It’s a story of the Iranian Revolution, which began in 1979, but it’s also the story of one individual life in a time of great crisis, moving into the Iranian diaspora. Chris and Suzanne discuss this personal story of revolution, how a child’s understanding of events can be useful for introducing topics to readers, and the difficulties of talking about comics on podcasts.
