Hello Graphic Novel fans!

I’m excited to introduce myself as your new Pantheon blogger. My name is Lauren and I’m the one who sends out those fantastic graphic novel e-newsletters - so if you’re not registered to receive one, sign up here!


This week, I have some very exciting news! As most of you may already know, we’ll be publishing Marjane Satrapi’s CHICKEN WITH PLUMS as a trade paperback on April 14th. According to Newsweek, “CHICKEN WITH PLUMS is a feast you’ll devour!”


If you are as big a fan of Marjane as I am, then you’ll definitely want an advance copy! I will send out a FREE copy to the first 3 people who email me at pantheon@randomhouse.com with the correct answer to the below question:

How many times was Marjane’s grandmother married?

Hint: The answer is in the beginning of Embroideries.

Good luck! And in the meantime check out Marjane’s other books:

• The Complete Persepolis


• Persepolis


• Persepolis 2


• Embroideries

Happy Reading!
