Satrapi, Marjane |
Date of birth
22 November 1969, Rasht, Iran
Marjane Satrapi
( November 22, 1969, Rasht, Iran)
She grew up in Tehran in a progressive family.
She attended the Lycée
Français there and witnessed, as a child, the growing oppression of civil
liberties and the everyday-life consequences of Iranian politics, including the
fall of the Shah, the early regime of Ayatollah Khomeini and the first years of
the Iran-Iraq war.
Satrapi's mother is a great-granddaughter of Nasser-al-Din Shah, Shah of
Persia from 1848 until 1896.
However, Satrapi points out that "the kings
of the Qajar dynasty...had hundreds of wives. They made thousands of
kids.
If you multiply these kids by generation you have, I don't know,
ten to fifteen thousand princes and princesses. There's nothing extremely
special about that."
“The real war is not
between the West and the East. The real war is between intelligent and stupid
people.”
In 1983, at the age of 14, Satrapi was sent to
Vienna, Austria, by her parents in order to flee the Iranian regime.
According to her autobiographical graphic novel Persepolis, she lived
there during her high school years, returning to Iran for college.
At
college, she met a man named Reza, married then divorced him, and moved to
Strasbourg, France. She currently lives in Paris, where she works as an
illustrator and an author of children's books.
Marjane Satrapi self
portraitSatrapi's career began in earnest when she met David B., a French comics
artist. She adopted a style similar to his, especially in her earliest works.
Satrapi became famous worldwide because of her critically acclaimed,
autobiographical graphic novels Persepolis and Persepolis 2, which describe her
childhood in Iran and her adolescence in Europe in an intelligent and engaging
portrait of everyday life.
Persepolis won the Angoulême Coup de Coeur
Award at the Angoulême International Comics Festival.
Her later
publication, Broderies (Embroideries) was also nominated for the Angoulême Album
of the Year award in 2003, an award which was won by her most recent novel,
Poulet aux prunes.
She currently writes an illustrated column in the Op-Ed section of The New
York Times, apparently on an irregular schedule.
It was announced in
2006 that Sony Pictures Classics would be turning Persepolis into an animated
film, to be released in 2007.
Co-written and co-directed by Satrapi and
Vincent Paronnaud, the French-language picture is to star the voice of Chiara
Mastroianni and will also feature Catherine Deneuve, Danielle Darrieux, and
Simon Abkarian. It will also be released in English.
