Welcome to the LitCharts study guide on Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return. Created by the original team behind SparkNotes, LitCharts are the world's best literature guides.
Call it What it Is. Satrapi acknowledges that calling Persepolis, Persepolis 2, and other graphic novels “comic books” can dredge up unflattering stereotypes and make the books seem less literary. However, she insists that her novels are indeed comic books.
Proud Parents. Satrapi has said that her parents are very proud of her for writing Persepolis. She credits her mother and father’s good-natured reception of the book to the fact that they’re open-minded and willing to change their perspectives when presented with new information.
