Arts & Letters Live, a literary series at the Dallas Museum of Art, presents
Marjane Satrapi
Bestselling author and illustrator of Persepolis
In partnership with the School of Arts & Humanities at UTD
Originally published to wide acclaim in France, where it elicited comparisons to Art Spiegelman’s MAUS, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi’s wise, funny, and heartbreaking memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution and the war with Iraq. In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the story of her childhood – at once both outrageous and ordinary – beset by the unthinkable, but buffered by an extraordinary and loving family. Satrapi adapted her own graphic novels to an animated film, which she co-directed, and Persepolis won the Jury Prize in May 2007 at the Cannes Film Festival. After the screening, rhythmic applause erupted for more than 15 minutes. Satrapi lives in Paris, where her illustrations appear regularly in newspapers and magazines. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear this creative young artist share her powerful story.
