I read Persepolis 1 and 2 while on set this weekend. I like the stark black and white lines, and the almost woodcut-like simplicity of Marjane Satrapi's lines. Her use of repetition, in lines or objects, creates impact.
Satrapi, Marjane. Perspolis (2000), publisher L'Association. ISBN 2844140580, translation publisher Pantheon Books (2003, 2004, 2005), ISBN 0-224-080393.
Persepolis details Satrapi's life as a child in Iran during the Revolution and the Iran/Iraq War. Her increasing resistance to the gender resistance of the Revolution force her parents to send her to school in Austria for four years.
The novel's autobiographical content relates to my work but not he linear storytelling.
