Publisher's Note
In Tehran in 1958, Nasser Ali Khan, one of Iran's most acclaimed tar players, discovers that his beloved instrument has been irrevocably damaged, lauches a fruitless search for another one to replace it, and takes to his bed, renouncing the world, its pleasures, and life itself. By the author of Persepolis. 50,000 first printing.

The author relates the story of her great-uncle, Nasser Ali Khan, one of Iran's most acclaimed musicians, who discovers that his beloved instrument has been irrevocably damaged and renounces the world, its pleasures, and life itself.

Industry Reviews
"Satrapi's deceptively simple, remarkably powerful drawings match the precise but flexible prose she employs."
(11/27/2006)

"[Marjane] Satrapi's simple black-and-white drawing style, combined with the fantastical elements of her narrative, turns CHICKEN WITH PLUMS into a great bedtime story for melancholy adults."
(10/09/2006)

"The question of what makes a life worth living has rarely been posed with as much poignancy and ambition as it is in [Marjane] Satrapi's dazzling new effort." [Starred review.]
(08/28/2006)
