Book excerpt: A first-time author delivers the most powerful and relevant nonfiction graphic novel since Joe Sacco's Safe Area Gorazde. Marjane Satrapi was the child of radical Marxists who helped overthrow the Shah of Iran, and this is her memoir, in comics form, of her struggles with the rise of Islamic Revolution as a young girl and teenager. Begun in 1999, long before the events of Sept. 11th, 2001, cast a collective world eye to the Middle East, Persepolis was first published last year in French and became an instant critical and commercial smash for L'Association, a well-respected but relatively small comics press in Paris.L'Association was prepared for Persepolis's critical success: Satrapi's first-person familial account makes a complex history accessible to outsiders, similar to Art Spiegelman's work, and her use of the comics form humanizes and gives immediate form to her life in a way few other prose books can. Persepolis's commercial success was less expected when published early last year, but in light of the worldwide attention on women's rights issues in the Middle East post-Sept. 11th, the book has taken on a life of its own and quickly sold out of 20,000 copies faster than they could be printed.

Book excerpt: Persepolis II concludes the report on many seasons of excavations (1935-1939) at the site and is the first publication to adequately illustrate and discuss the pottery of the period, an essential addition to Achaemenian archaeological studies. Persepolis II mainly deals with the minor antiquities recovered from the Treasury. Nevertheless, authentic objects of foreign manufacture provide material of far wider cosmopolitan interest to the archaeologist. Trophies of war and tribute from the satrapies of the Empire collected by successive generations of Achaemenid kings formed a large part of the contents of royal treasure houses.

Book excerpt: The fascinating continuation of the best-selling Persepolis, “one of the freshest and most original memoirs of our day” (Los Angeles Times). Marjane Satrapi dazzles with her heartrending graphic memoir about growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. In 1984, Marjane flees fundamentalism and the war with Iraq to begin a new life in Vienna. Once there, she faces the trials of adolescence far from her friends and family, and while she soon carves out a place for herself among a group of fellow outsiders, she continues to struggle for a sense of belonging. Finding that she misses her home more than she can stand, Marjane returns to Iran after graduation. Her difficult homecoming forces her to confront the changes both she and her country have undergone in her absence and her shame at what she perceives as her failure in Austria. Marjane allows her past to weigh heavily on her until she finds some like-minded friends, falls in love, and begins studying art at a university. However, the repression and state-sanctioned chauvinism eventually lead her to question whether she can have a future in Iran. As funny and poignant as its predecessor, Persepolis 2 is another clear-eyed and searing condemnation of the human cost of fundamentalism. In its depiction of the struggles of growing up—here compounded by Marjane’s status as an outsider both abroad and at home—it is raw, honest, and incredibly illuminating.

Book excerpt: 'There is, as you pick it up, nothing to prepare you for its power' OBSERVER 'Quite simply, one of the most beautiful books I have ever read' AMINATTA FORNA How do we navigate our complex histories for our children? What is our duty to share and what must we leave for them to discover? Writing to his daughter, David Chariandy asks difficult, unsettling, perhaps impossible questions – questions made all the more poignant by our current political landscape. With tender, spare and luminous prose, Chariandy looks both into his heart and mind and out to the world and humanity. In the tradition of Ta-Nehisi Coates and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, this is a book about race; this is a book about family.
