We lost a literary giant last week, and at a young age, too. Marjane Satrapi, author of the groundbreaking graphic memoir, Persepolis, passed away at the age of 56. There wasn’t much information shared about how or even where she died, but the office of French President Emmanuel Macron issued a statement on her influence:
“Her passing marks the loss of a leading figure in French culture and a freedom-loving artist whose work carried a universal message and earned her immense international acclaim.”
