Marjane Satrapi On-Line
posted April 24, 2005

The following is some of the on-line material available on Marjane Satrapi, the cartoonist behind the popular and award-winning Persepolis volumes and the newly-released and bound to be heavily covered Embroideries. This page is intended for fellow journalists and otherwise interested people and will be updated as much as I can manage to do so. I welcome any and all .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) additional links and corrections.

Please note that the categories can be a rough guess sometimes. In this case, since there's so much bleed between the books in articles and reviews about Persepolis, those pieces are listed without distinction but with dates included whenever possible to indicate likely focus.
