Marjane Satrapi on the term, “graphic novel”

Interviewed in the WSJ, Marjane Satrapi says, “I don’t like ‘graphic novel.’ It’s a word that publishers created for the bourgeois to read comics without feeling bad. Comics is just a way of narrating — it’s just a media type. Chris Ware doesn’t like it either — he says it sounds like “Lady Chatterley’s Lover.”
