Marjane Satrapi was born in 1969 in Rasht, Iran. She grew up in Tehran, where she studied at the French school, before leaving for Vienna and then Strasbourg to study illustration. She has written several children's books and her commentary and illustrations appear in newspapers and magazines around the world, including the New Yorker and the New York Times. She is the author of the internationally bestselling and award-winning comic book autobiography in two parts, Persepolis and Persepolis 2. She currently lives in Paris.
This is a book to provoke and entertain -- Peter Millar The Times 20050507 Satrapi's drawings are sparing and highly stylised; she is able to render nuances of expression with simple, bold strokes...

Though Embroideries is not a continuation of the Persepolis story, it sits at the heart of the same world - a brutally policed society where an extraordinarily rich and inventive culture still prevails, if only behind closed doors, where women are wildly subversive, funny, free-thinking and sexy -- Maureen Freely Guardian This is Sex and the City, Middle-Eastern style - outrageous, explicit and funny -- Kelly Knox Time Out
