Explicit

Novel/Film by Bridé Baker

Episode notes

In the third installment of Novel/Film, we discuss Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical graphic novel, which depicts her adolescence through the Iranian Revolution and the subsequent unsettling of her beloved home life and Tehran.

Persepolis also presents a fascinating example of an original work and its adaptation written and directed by the same person.
