Ai Weiwei is a Chinese protest artist of great renown, and here, in the form of a graphic novel based thematically on the Chinese Zodiac, his views on art and survival and hope, and political oppression, simmer through. The artwork is black/white drawings, but his personality and integrity filter through.
