NYROB Examines Persepolis

The New York Review of Books is the publication that people who offhandedly slam the perceived elitism and gatekeeper qualities of the New York Times Book Review may actually be thinking of. With dedicated big-box bookstore availability and occasional newsstand distribution (Seattle's QFC grocery stores used to carry it), it enjoys a focused but national audience for reviews that often feature very good, qualified writers engaging the issues of the moment through books that address them. Plus they feature David Levine. They have not done a whole lot of comics reviews, at least not that I can recall, but according to this they discuss the Persepolis volumes by Marjane Satrapi. It's hard to tell if they'll make this available, but it might be worth checking out next time you're loitering in one of those bookstore comfy chairs.
