Originally published to wide critical acclaim in France, where it elicited comparisons to Art Spiegelman's Maus, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi's wise, funny, and heartbreaking memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah's regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran's last emperors, Marjane bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country.Persepolis paints an unforgettable portrait of daily life in Iran: of the bewildering contradictions between home life and public life and of the enormous toll repressive regimes exact on the individual spirit. Marjane's child's-eye-view of dethroned emperors, state-sanctioned whippings, and heroes of the revolution allows us to learn as she does the history of this fascinating country and of her own extraordinary family. Intensely personal, profoundly political, and wholly original, Persepolis is at once a story of growing up and a stunning reminder of the human cost of war and political repression. It shows how we carry on, through laughter and tears, in the face of absurdity. And, finally, it introduces us to an irresistible little girl with whom we cannot help but fall in love.

Good Value, Nice Fabric, But Could Have Better Finishing.
I'm 5'3 and 125# and the size small was a near perfect fit, although I hope I don't gain any weight. These have an elastic waistband in addition to the drawstring and the elastic is pretty strong, so if you are on the border between sizes, I'd recommend sizing up.
I was a little annoyed with how these arrived - they come in a box, but inside the box the set I got was balled up in and in a plastic bag then shoved into the box. I suspect I may have gotten a set that was a return, because I can't imagine them being packaged that way out of the factory. Since these are primarily linen, the result of this type of packing is that they were so wrinkled I nearly sent them straight back! I tried them on anyway and since they fit me well, I decided to keep them, but I hope that most of the wrinkles come out in the wash, otherwise I'll have to haul out the iron which I haven't had to do in ages.
I don't wear shorts all that often, but since these were a linen blend and every summer seems to be getting hotter, I thought these would be comfortable to wear on those 90+ degree days. Linen is comfortable and breathable and cotton does a good job of wicking away moisture, so it's the perfect blend for the hottest and stickiest days of summer. They aren't too short, which is a plus. I did need to snip a lot of loose strings off of these, so these could have a nicer finish, but for less than $20/pair, I'm not too fussed about it. I think these will wash up well and will look a lot better once ironed, but hopefully, I'll only have to iron them once to get them into the right shape. If they need to be ironed every time they're washed, they'll probably be relegated to the back of my closet where my least favorite clothes go to die, because who has time to iron??!!

Not linen
These aren’t linen, these are microfiber shorts. Fabric feels very cheap.

True To Size
These shorts fit true to size and are so comfortable. They have a drawstring waist, so you can adjust them for the best fit and wide legs. They are 55% linen and 45% cotton so they keep you feeling cool. The classic colors go with nearly any other colors or designs, making them stretch your wardrobe potential and saving you money. They were extremely wrinkled upon arrival, so I used my fabric steamer, and within 5 min they looked perfect. I love these shorts and wear them all the time!
