Chicken with Plums

It s amazing to see how much complexity and narrative cunning Satrapi crams into her images ... Chicken with Plums is the most intricately laminated of her tales: The author shuffles past, present, and future like a cardsharp.
Los Angeles Times Book Review

Beguiling ... Completely seamless.
The Boston Globe

Satrapi pushes the boundaries of her work further still . . . [She is] an Iranian Colette.
San Francisco Chronicle

Inspired.
Elle

Satrapi s deceptively simple, remarkably powerful drawings match the precise but flexible prose she employs in adapting to her multiple roles as educator, folklorist, and grand-niece.

Praise for Persepolis

A memoir of growing up as a girl in revolutionary Iran, Persepolis provides a unique glimpse into a nearly unknown and unreachable way of life ... That Satrapi chose to tell her remarkable story as a gorgeous comic books makes it unique and totally indispensable.

It is virtually impossible to read Persepolis without falling in love.
Baltimore Sun

The most original coming-of-age story from the Middle East yet.
