Author and Academy Award-Nominated Director Marjane Satrapi to Visit LSU

Reported by Logan Leger on Tue, Apr 14th, 2009 in Arts & Events and tagged: , , ,

Marjane Satrapi will be addressing the LSU general body about her book The Complete Persepolis, which was featured in the 2008 LSU Summer Reading Program. She will be in the Bo Campbell Auditorium of the Cox Communications Center for Student Athletes at 6:30 pm today. The talk is free and open to the public with a book signing to follow. Her book is her account during the Islamic Revolution and is a graphic novel. The feature film is an animated adaptation which has gained much acclaim.

I read this book for the Summer Reading Program and it was the topic of much discussion in one of my honors courses. I have mixed feelings about the media (and, specifically, that a graphic novel shouldn’t be chosen for summer reading), but the book is still a good, albeit quick, read and it discusses an important event in modern history. I will not be in attendance, but if anyone goes, tip us with the details.
