In 'Chicken with Plums', Marjane Satrapi transports us to Tehran in 1958, where the life of Nasser Ali, a virtuoso of music, takes an unexpected turn when his wife breaks his beloved tar, the instrument that has accompanied him throughout his life. Desperate, Nasser Ali decides to let himself be carried away by fate, awaiting the arrival of Azrael, the angel of death. Satrapi, with her unique style, offers us a moving description of human anguish, portraying despair, sadness, and the loss of illusion in the last days of a man who chooses to die. This graphic novel, published in both Spanish and Catalan, is a jewel that reflects the fight against injustices and barbarities, consolidating Satrapi as a symbol of courage and innovation in the world of comics.
