Formidable compte-rendu d'une rencontre de Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis) avec son lectorat américain, par
MoorishGirl :
As for the graphic form, she chose it because it felt natural to her, she said, and she wondered why no one asks filmmakers why they don't sing a song instead of shoot a movie. She also objected to the fancy appellation of 'graphic novel,' saying she was perfectly happy calling Persepolis a comic book. After all, she said, both Hitchcock and Schwarzenegger have made movies, and we don't call them different things, we just talk of one as a good movie and of the other as a bad movie.
(Mmmhh... Peut-être que l'on ne devrait quand même pas appelé les films de Schwarzie des films : campagne électorale est un terme plus approprié, il me semble. Voire carrément primaires, dans son cas.)
