The November edition of Bookslut includes an interview with Marjane Satrapi in which she discusses Chicken with Plums, the upcoming Persepolis film, and her approach to creating a graphic novel:
I think it’s just more of a simultaneous experience. It’s true that at the beginning I have a scenario. I know almost how I am going to start and finish it, and almost what I would like to say in the middle. But once I start working, it all just comes together. The best example of that is like a baby growing up in a belly. They don’t have first the nose that grows and one leg and then the other leg and one eye and then the head. All of it grows at the same time.
