Description
|
|
|
|
Following her internationally acclaimed graphic autobiography Persepolis, a New York Times Notable Book, and its sequels Persepolis 2 and Embroideries, Marjane Satrapi returns with this poignant life of her great-uncle Nasser Ali Khan, a revered musician in 1950s Iran. Precipitated by an argument with his wife that led to the destruction of his precious tar, an Iranian lute, Nasser Ali gives up on life and lies down to die. In his last week, his past and future play out in reveries before the Angel of Death comes for him. Satrapi, whom Salon called "the Persian love child of [Art] Spiegelman and Lynda Barry," renders her story in deceptively simple black and white drawings that convey a haunting emotional power.
