Persepolis is a French-language graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi that describes her childhood in Iran after the revolution. The title is a reference to the historical town of Persepolis Persepolis is followed by Persepolis 2, which details Satrapi's life afterwards, during the war between Iran and Iraq. Simply drawn in black and white it found great popularity following its release (Time Magazine included it in its Best Comix of 2003 list). Persepolis 3 describes her high school years in Austria, and Persepolis 4 describes her return to Iran, where she went to college, got married, and later divorced, before moving to France, where she now lives.

The story has been adapted into an animated film, by Sony Pictures Classics. The film is voiced by Catherine Deneuve, Chiara Mastroianni, Danielle Darrieux and Simon Abkarian, among others. It debuted at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Prize of the Jury. The film drew complaints from the Iranian government even before its debut at the festival.
Also, I had forgotten to mention the other weekend was Sara's birthday party. We went to Fat Cat in the West village which was basically what you remember your middle school's rec room looking like, you know the one where you went and hung out after school (usually in the basement) if you were a cool kid and then took the "late" bus home after getting your pass (our's was called "the pit"), yea well it was like that except this included beer legally.
