Can they even, like, read in Amazonia?

Amazon have very kindly let me know that, as someone who bought Persepolis 2: the story of a return, I might like to buy Cold Land, Warm Hearts: More Memories of an Arctic Medical Outpost.

1) Persepolis is an (incredibly good) graphic novel about the politics of post-Shah Iran. Cold Land, Warm Hearts is, well, a memoir from an arctic medical outpost. Though they are both sequels, so I guess that's something.

2) The author of Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi. Not 'Satrapai Marjane'. I know this because a) I've actually read the book (unlike the people at Amazon, it seems), and b) the name is right there on the fucking cover.
