İranlı kadınlarla gün yapmak eğlenceliydi. bir mesaj verme amacının olmadığı belli ama bazı hikayeler nereden başladı, nasıl bitti anlayamamış gibi hissediyorum. bittikten sonra, öylesine bir ana şahit olmuşum gibi hissettim.
Short read, it felt like a part of “extended” version of Persepolis. But the book it self is a bit problematic, to say it mildly, it full of gender stereotypes and tasteless jokes translated from Persian and which common in Iran (fyi: I’m Iranian). Or else, I have to say I agree with this review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Short and hilarious.
Short and hilarious.
Of course, Embroideries is not as poignant and striking as Persepolis but I still enjoyed reading it a lot! I just love the mix of humor, sarcasm, satire and pervasive sadness used by Satrapi, not to mention her style and artwork! A great read.
I will read anything Marjane Satrapi writes
2.5/5 Very meh. There are some important questions raised, but almost none of them are discussed much and some very not okay things are not challenged enough. I think this one could've been stronger than it is.
5 stars and an A - this is a hilarious depiction of how life truly is and it also very accurately shows what happens with love and men and sex in tradionalist cultures in a humourous light. Really enjoyed this and I have to say, I fondly remember Satrapi's style from Persepolis and this continues in the same vein and it is indeed a delight to read.
An entertaining account of the love and sex lives of Iranian women.
