Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood Story aired: Wednesday, May 21, 2003
Sometimes simple words and pictures work best to convey a complex story. Think of Art Spiegalman's "Maus," a comic book for adults that tells the story of the holocaust using cats and mice.
Now in a similar fashion, Iranian-born Marjane Satrapi uses pen and ink drawings in cartoon panels to tell the story of her life, growing up in Iran before during and after the '79 revolution.
The book is called "Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood" and Marjane joins Here and Now to discuss her work.
Guests:
Marjane Satrapi, author, "Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood."
