Marjane Satrapi is a genius!

Just finished reading Persepolis! its great!!  better than even the animated film..well yes i know movies can NEVER be compared to books...so many details have been skipped!! :(    Any way apart from getting to know about Irevolution in Iran, i got to know about a thoerist named as Mikhail Bakunin.lenin.marxism.communism.. (yes just by reading a comic book)
it was funny and at the same time very depressing...there was this one point in the story where Marjane's friends are leaving for Christmas holidays and she s left alone...so her punk friend tells her that since she doesnt have a lot of knowledge she should start reading some books...to which she smiles and the next thing we see in her thought bubble is...what an asshole...
it was sad to see how she goes to Austria and feels like an outsider and then returns to her Iran and yet feels the same...
