Chicken with Plums (Pantheon Graphic Library)

Chicken with Plums (Pantheon Graphic Library)
- Chicken With Plums By Satrapi Marjane
â€œChicken with Plums is a feast youâ€™ll devour.â€
â€”Newsweek

Acclaimed graphic artist Marjane Satrapi brings what has become her signature humor and insight, her keen eye and ear, to the heartrending story of a celebrated Iranian musician who gives up his life for music and love.

When Nasser Ali Khan, the authorâ€™s great-uncle, discovers that his beloved instrument is irreparably damaged, he takes to his bed, renouncing the world and all its pleasures. Over the course of the week that follows, we are treated to vivid scenes of his encounters with family and friends, flashbacks to his childhood, and flash-forwards to his childrenâ€™s future. And as the pieces of his story fall into place, we begin to understand the breadth of his decision to let go of life.

The poignant story of one man, it is also stunningly universalâ€”a luminous tale of life and death, and the courage and passion both require of us.
