translated by Carlos Mayor
This year, Persepolis turns 20. I loved the animation; finally, I’ve got to read the book — a brand new edition containing all four volumes, in a brand new Spanish translation by Carlos Mayor.
As one could expect, there are differences between the comic and the animation. Among the “new” (for me) scenes, my favourites are the one with “ping-pong balls” Wolfy, Lucie’s boyfriend #18 (the chapter La píldora), and life drawing class with a model wearing the black chador (Los calcetines). Oh, by the way, the pages are not numbered, so I can’t tell you the exact page. For this price, it could be nice if this gorgeous book came with a bookmark.
