Chicken with Plums by Marjane Satrapi

In 2009-10, the Campus Read selection was The Complete Persepolis by Iranian writer Marjane Satrapi.  That book was made into the film Persepolis, which was also written by Satrapi.

Another book by Satrapi, Chicken with Plums, has been made into a film that will be theatrically released in August.  It was the big winner at last October's Abu Dhabi Film Festival, garnering the Best Narrative Film prize and a monetary award of $100,000.  Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud directed the film.

Check out and read the BSC Library's copy of the book, then watch the film here!
