honestly it’s less about marjane satrapi and persepolis and more about how that’s the only narrative the western world views as factual or even worth reading

same thing with authors like khaled hosseini. their works show one perspective, a perspective now removed in a sea of different experiences, one that conveniently paints western imperialist agendas in a positive light and even more conveniently becomes the only narrative ever published for western audiences

you can acknowledge someone’s experiences, but you should always ask yourself why, for example, books like this became required reading in many schools alongside other writings meant to shape your opinion a certain way about a certain region and religion
