PERSEPOLIS (book & film) are both epic masterpieces that find their way to young people. I've taught both a bunch and never had a class that didn't *get* PERSEPOLIS. That's a miracle of its own. Satrapi's voice and imagination are so alive. I wrote about that here:

Marjane Satrapi’s inimitable art encompassed revolution and war, education and ideology, repression and rebellion.
