MARJANE SATRAPI talk & book signing for "Chicken with Plums" Friday, November 3 at 7:00 pm at The Booksmith (1644 Haight Street in San Francisco)
In her acclaimed "Persepolis" books and in "Embroideries," Marjane Satrapi rendered the events of her life and times in a uniquely captivating and powerful voice and vision. Now, in "Chicken with Plums," she turns that same keen eye and ear to the heartrending story of her great-uncle, a celebrated Iranian musician who gave up his life for music and love.
Marjane Satrapi was born in 1969 in Rasht, Iran. She now lives in Paris, where she is a regular contributor to magazines and newspapers throughout the world, including The New Yorker and The New York Times. She is the author the internationally best-selling and award-winning comic book autobiography in two parts, "Persepolis" and "Persepolis 2." The first volume is currently being made into an animated feature film that will be distributed by Sony Picture Classics in 2007.
