Interviewed by Azar Nafisi, author of Reading Lolita in Tehran
World-renowned for her award-winning graphic memoir (and film) Persepolis,
a global best-seller, Marjane Satrapi will make a rare US appearance.
Satrapi grew up during the Iranian revolution and witnessed firsthand
the brutal and historic overthrow of the Shah. The subsequent Islamic
repression and Marjane's own journey away from Iran are intricately
linked to all of her books, films, and artwork.
She will be interviewed by Azar Nafisi, whose acclaimed Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books
electrified readers with a compassionate and often harrowing portrait
of the Islamic revolution in Iran and how it affected one university
professor and her students.
