They made Persepolis into a movie but this is her best work October 14, 2008
The strip tells the story of Satrapi's uncle, who was a virtuoso on a Persian instrument called the tar. His favourite instrument is broken and he cannot find a replacement, and so he determines to go to his room, and die. The strip follows him through his final days and explains about his art, his life, his failed marriage and his lost love.
For me the artwork here is Satrapi's very best. Where elsewhere she can often seem to be at pains to be rather documentary, here she is poignant, personal and inserts some Persian mythology into the mix. A quite enchanting comic book. With work so grown up you don't need to say "graphic novel" to give it false gravitas. Its a comic book and none the worse for that. Beautiful. The final frame left me speechless.
