In 2003 the world met Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis--a wise and funny memoir of a spirited girl growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Told in powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Persepolis elicited comparisons to Art Spiegelman's Maus, and won Spain's first Fernando Buesa Peace Prize. Satrapi was born in Rasht, Iran, in 1960, and now lives in Paris.
