Program Description

Event Details

Meet with the Novel Discussion Book Club on the last Wednesday of every month!

This month's book is Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood by Marjane Satrapi 

In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah’s regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran’s last emperors, Marjane bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country.
