Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
| "No memoir better conveys both the play of dress upon the body and human ingenuity, resilience, and creativity through dress than Marjane Satrapi's extraordinary . . . autobiographical comic strip about growing up in Iran before, during, and after the Islamic revolution and seeking temporary refuge in Austria. Through humorous and emotive sequences of striking black-and-white drawings and simple dialogs, she documents the complex interweaving of the personal and the political, the individual and the social, demonstrating how dress stands on the border of these domains, making their separation impossible, for it is quite literally the substance through which issues of freedom, control, aesthetics, and politics are negotiated and enacted." --Emma Tarlo Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis: A Sartorial Review from Fashion Theory: The Journal of Dress, Body & Culture; Jun/Sep2007, Vol. 11 Issue 2/3, p347-356. |
