Marjane Satrapi was so brilliant. Her husband completed last year, and she followed him. I know this pain. She is at peace and no longer in pieces. Watch Persepolis tonight in her honor.
I first learned about Marjane Satrapi through a Yemeni friend who absolutely idolized her. It speaks volumes to her genius that her stories of resistance, family & identity could resonate so deeply across borders. A massive loss for the world today. RIP🖤

Some leftists are becoming the exact thing they’re spent their whole life fighting against and condemning. They probably don’t want to hear that but it’s the truth.
marjane satrapi was the biggest iranian voice in comics. her presence was cherished and will be sorely missed. thank you marjane, for giving us a space in a world that ignores us and a few laughs about it
If you're a fan of PERSEPOLIS, you owe it to yourself to also check out Marjane Satrapi's vastly underrated CHICKEN WITH PLUMS, which she adapted and co-directed from her excellent graphic novel. #RIP
in un'intervista italiana del 2023 marjane satrapi aveva detto che se mai l'iran fosse stato di nuovo libero così come lo intendeva lei sarebbe tornata lì per mangiare la mortadella iraniana e guardare le montagne... spero davvero che possa farlo nel posto in cui si trova adesso
people hated on this so fucking much without even watching the movie and realizing this is a scene that symbolizes her being able to recover after attempting suicide.
La primera parte del cómic habla de su vida siendo de la clase urbana irani, estando en un ambiente intelectual y en oposición al régimen del Sha y posteriormente al régimen islámico. Régimen islámico el cual mató a su tío comunista. ¿Habéis leído el cómic acaso?
Shattered by the loss of Marjane Satrapi. A decade after one of my favorite English teachers assigned us Persepolis, I interviewed Marjane for her Marie Curie biopic. Sharp, wise, goddamn funny. One of my favorite times on the job ever. From 2020: https://t.co/LrqOHTu0Qc
