Happy Birthday, Marjane Satrapi!
It is also the birthday of acclaimed Iranian-French memoirist, Marjane Satrapi! Best known for her account of growing up in Iran throughout the Islamic Revolution, Persepolis, which was adapted into an Oscar-nominated animated film. She followed that up with Embroideries, a frank dialogue about the love and sex lives of Iranian women, and Chicken with Plums, about a musician who gives up living when his priceless instrument is irreparably damaged. The latter has been adapted into a live-action film by Satrapi herself, though it is not yet scheduled for US release. Next week comes the English translation of her illustrated novella, The Sigh. Bon anniversaire and ولدت مبارک, Marjane!
