As a Century student, you may be interested in what the Century Common Book Project is, what a graphic novel is, or how to ‘read’ this year’s chosen book, Persepolis.  Please explore this website, where you’ll find helpful links, discussion questions, and background information about Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis. 

You may or may not be required to read Persepolis in one of your classes this year.  Even so, Century College hopes all students will read the book and invites everyone—students, faculty, staff—to discuss the book and attend related events, to celebrate reading and intellectual inquiry, and to consider the personal and political connections between the United States and Iran.
