eng 273: persepolis

Marjane Satrapi's graphic novel has met with international acclaim. Random House, publisher of Persepolis, has a nice website with an author interview and other helpful links (though not all of the links are active). This website, first started at Stanford University, includes information on contemporary and historic Iranian culture. For a helpful history of Iran, particularly the political and religious changes in the 20th century, look at this series of web pages.
