Chicken with Plums, Marjane Satrapi (19 down, 33 to go)

This is another great story by Marjane Satrapi. I am her fan for life. She has such character and spice. I’m not sure there’s anything she could do any more that I wouldn’t like.

We were talking tonight about the possibility of Persepolis - the animated film - being nominated for an Oscar. It would be up against Ratatouille in 2008. Marjane Satrapi would be on stage at the Academy Awards in an American election year… It would be wonderful.
