This Week’s Article: Marjane Satrapi
Posted: August 14, 2011
Marjane Satrapi is a charismatic Iranian exile and gifted cartoonist living in Paris. In Persepolis she relates with great humanity and humour how she grew up in Tehran under the Islamic regime and the Iran-Iraq war. From the book’s modest origins in French from the alternative creator-run collective L’Association, its first volume sold out of four printings totalling 16,000 copies. After 9/11, as Satrapi completed her story in four volumes, Persepolis would take off and sweep the world, topping two million copies and counting. It has even been taught to cadets at America’s military academy West Point. Read the full article here…
