It's here: the most awaited comics sequel of 2004. Find out what happens after Marjane left Iran in 1984, and upon her later return to Iran (as the title tells us) in this modestly priced hardcover that's hot off the press. "Persepolis 2 is much more than the chronicle of a young woman’s struggle into adulthood; it’s a brilliant, painful, rendering of the contrast between East and West, between the repression of wartime Iran and the social, political, and sexual freedoms of 1980’s Austria. There’s something universal about Satrapi’s search for self-definition, but her experiences in Vienna and Tehran are rendered with such witty particularity, and such heartbreaking honesty, that by the end of this book you’ll feel you’ve gained an intimate friend." -- Julie Orringer, author of How To Breathe Underwater
