The library now has two graphic nonfiction books — Persepolis (Circ PN6747.S245 P4713 2003) and Persepolis 2 (Circ PN6747.S245 P4913 2004). The books use drawings, rather than a narrative, to tell the story of the author’s life as a child in Iran during the Islamic Revolution and when she arrives in Vienna to attend high school. Although the books tell a true story, they are often called “graphic novels,” the name generally given to the comic-like style that the author uses.
