A review by merixcil
A Chinese Life by Philippe Ôtié, Li Kunwu
4.0
The art style in this book is my first port of recommendation. At first it feels off kilter and messy, before easing into itself and finally showing its hand at how it harks back to traditional Chinese methods of drawing.
The plot is mundane but fascinating, demonstrating the horrors of the author's life without sanitising its overall positive perspective on China for a Western audience. Quite the most interesting bit of biography I've read in some time.
