Embroidery

Editor's Recommendation:
☆A work by the brilliant Iranian artist Marjane Satrapi, author of "Persepolis," which was nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film. This is the 20th-anniversary edition of "Embroideries," translated and recommended by renowned translator Ma Ainong!
☆Taboo themes and poignant stories reveal women that men don't know, and Iranian women we haven't seen. Men, women, incredible experiences, unspeakable taboos – women's private conversations are the most exciting movies. Drinking tea and chatting without reservations will absolutely satisfy readers' curiosity.
☆A group of highly articulate "gossipy aunties" offer sober statements on marriage and gender relations. The author, as a junior, sits among her female relatives' gossip sessions, from which the story unfolds, easily drawing readers into the author's perspective and immersing them in a high-level discussion from independent Iranian women. Witty descriptions of relationship statuses, sharp and precise evaluations of men, and thought-provoking profound statements that pop up occasionally serve as a resonance box for the married and a preventive shot for the unmarried.
☆A chatty TV series style with unique charm and distinctive narrative. Satrapi skillfully weaves the stories of several relatives and friends into a tea party, interspersed with short stories, making it fragmented yet vivid. This hundred-plus-page work is packed with information, worth savoring repeatedly.
About the Content:
An afternoon tea chat among Iranian women, where no topic is taboo. Regarding marriage, gender, and love, women all have their own opinions and secrets.
Satrapi, with her unique observational perspective and black humor, connects the private stories of over a dozen female family members. Men are the objects of their playful banter, and a few relationships merely enrich their experiences. Some of their experiences are hilarious, some are unbelievable, but all are absolutely exciting and interesting!
Beyond the black veil, there's not only the humor and vivacity of Iranian women but also serious issues such as women's social roles and status. But for now, relax, don't rush, and let's join this heart-ventilating party together.
