Yes I've heard, never read but I know what it is. If you want to read, please feel free I'm not here to dictate what you must or not read, you may can get some more knowledge about Iran's political history.

But just to remember, Satrapi is a self proclaimed left liberal nowadays. For most of history she narrates under a totally left wing vision that at the time she was sympathizing with communism and later with anarchist ideas (think she was ancom if not wrong). I remember when I lived in Germany I saw a copy of the book that read on the back cover: "Satrapi tells the story of how Iran was sunk in the darkness of the Islamic theocratic regime", this is at least very very biased.

If you want names of contemporary Persian literature authors that I recommend: Reza Amirkani, Mostafa Masthor and Sadegh Karamyar, he produced amazing series also
