Chicken with Plums

Her acclaimed PERSEPOLIS books and in EMBROIDERIES, Satrapi rendered the events of her life and times in a uniquely captivating and powerful voice and vision. Now she turns that same keen eye and ear to the heartrending story of her great-uncle, a celebrated Iranian musician who gave up his life for music and love. Satrapi brings what has become her signature humor, insight, and generosity to this emotional tale of life and death, and the courage and passion both required of us. The poignant story of one man, it's also a story of stunning universality-and an altogether luminous work.
