Welcome to the Persepolis 2

Come to this blog to learn the many stories behind the novel Persepolis 2, and to see images that symbolize aspects of the novel.

Satellite Dish

Media was an important concept in Persepolis 2. The book compares Eastern and Western media and the untruths they both told.

Pasta

Marjane ate only pasta when she first arrived in Vienna; it was all she knew how to cook.

Painting Brush

Marjane became an artist in the novel. She had difficulty painting pictures of women with their bodies completely covered.
