Marjane Satrapi passed away in Paris at the age of 56. It’s said she never got over her husband’s death. The Iranian graphic novelist shared her story of growing up during the Islamic Revolution in her graphic memoir Persepolis. Her books inspired an Oscar nominated animated film. She was courageous, honest, and creative and the ramifications of her work will echo for years to come.
La Satrapi ha dejado este ingrato mundo pero nos ha dejado cosas como esta: el retrato más veraz y físico del paso de la pubertad a la adolescencia. Sí lo sabré yo y mi pandero, centro di gravetta permanente. ¡¡Alá la tenga en la gloria!!
