Apart from her native language, Persian, she speaks French, English, Swedish, German, and Italian. Satrapi is currently married to Mattias Ripa, a Swedish national. Her parents told her that Iran was no longer the place for her, and encouraged her to stay in Europe permanently. Satrapi then married Reza, a veteran of the Iran–Iraq War, when she was 21, whom she later divorced. She studied visual communication, eventually obtaining a master's degree from Islamic Azad University in Tehran. Eventually, she was homeless and lived on the streets for three months, until she was hospitalized for an almost deadly bout of bronchitis. She stayed in Vienna through her high school years, often moving from one residence to another as situations changed, and sometimes stayed at friends' homes. They arranged for her to live with a family friend, Zozo, to study abroad, and in 1983, at age fourteen, she arrived in Vienna, Austria, to attend the Lycée Français de Vienne. Barely in her teens by this time, she was skirting trouble with police for disregarding modesty codes and buying music banned by the regime. Īlthough Satrapi's parents encouraged her to be strong-willed and defend her rights, they grew concerned for her safety. It is said that Anoosh was the nephew of Fereydun Ebrahimi, Minister of Justice of Azerbaijan People's Government, a secessionist government that tried to secede from Pahlavi Persia in 1945. His body was buried in an unmarked grave in the prison. Anoosh was only allowed one visitor the night before his execution, and he requested Satrapi. Once back in Iran, Anoosh was arrested again and sentenced to death. Young Satrapi greatly admired her uncle, and he in turn doted on her, treating her more as a daughter than a niece. She found a hero in her paternal uncle, Anoosh, who had been a political prisoner and lived in exile in the Soviet Union for a time. Many of her family friends were persecuted, arrested, and even murdered.
ĭuring her youth, Satrapi was exposed to the growing brutalities of the various regimes. When the Iranian Revolution took place in 1979, they underwent rule by the Islamic fundamentalists who took power. Both her parents were politically active and supported leftist causes against the monarchy of the last Shah. She grew up in Tehran in an upper-middle class Iranian family and attended the French-language school, Lycée Razi. Her best-known works include the graphic novel Persepolis and its film adaptation, the graphic novel Chicken with Plums, and the Marie Curie biopic Radioactive. Marjane Satrapi ( French: Persian: مرجان ساتراپی born 22 November 1969) is a French-Iranian graphic novelist, cartoonist, illustrator, film director, and children's book author.
