Details

This is a read the book and watch the movie on your own event.
Persepolis is a graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi, who recently passed away in France. In honor of her, I thought it would be fitting to do a compare and contrast of her book and the movie adaption.

If this event is full and there's interest, I'll schedule an overflow event

Event
We'll meet at 6:30 7/22 at Barquetine Brewing on the west side of Edgewater Market.

Book
Her book is split into several volumes. For this meetup, I'd suggest the complete version available at Barnes and Noble

Movie
The movie is available to rent on Amazon or Apple TV.

Plot summary:
Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi’s autobiographical graphic memoir tracing her childhood and adolescence in Iran during and after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. As political upheaval and war reshape her country, Marjane struggles with identity, rebellion, and the loss of personal freedoms, leading her parents to send her to Europe for safety and education. The story follows her return and eventual decision to emigrate permanently
