I felt the wincing side coming out.

"The Defiance of Marjane Satrapi" - The Atlantic

"When the news broke last week that Marjane Satrapi, the French Iranian artist best known for the groundbreaking graphic memoir Persepolis, had died at age 56, I had what turned out to be a common reaction: That’s impossible. A friend wrote to me that Satrapi seemed invincible, which feels correct—not only because of the bold vitality of her books and films and public statements but also because Persepolis is, in so many ways, about survival."
