- with perhaps an even greater sense of the ridiculous inspired by life in a fundamentalist state
- Persepolis 2 is also as clear-eyed & searing in its condemnation of fundamentalism & its cost to the human spirit In its depiction of the universal trials of adolescent life & growing into adulthood
- here compounded by being an outsider both abroad & at home & by living in a state where you have no right to show your hair wear make-up run in public date or question authority
- it's raw honest & incredibly illuminating
