MARJANE SATRAPI presents Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return

DATE: Thursday, September 9 @ 7 PM
LOCATION: Simmons College, 3rd Floor Conference Center, 300 The Fenway, Boston.
FREE & Open to Public

In Persepolis, Satrapi dazzled us with her heartrending memoir-in-comic-strips about growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Here is the continuation of her fascinating story. As funny and poignant as its predecessor, PERSEPOLIS 2 is another clear-eyed and searing condemnation of the human cost of fundamentalism. In its depiction of the struggles of growing up-here compounded by Marjane's status as an outsider both abroad and at home-it is raw, honest, and incredibly illuminating.

Co-sponsored by the Iranian Association of Boston.
