Mark your calendars!

On Wednesday, September 23, acclaimed author of Persepolis and Persepolis II, Marjane Satrapi, will speak at the Free Library of Philadelphia, located at 1901 Vine Street. The event is absolutely free and is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.

Not the biggest Persepolis fan? Well, I don’t see how you couldn’t be… But just the same, the Free Library (a.k.a. FLP, for those cool cats in the know) is hosting a whole plethora — that’s right, a plethora — of awesome literary events, the bulk of them at no admission.
