1000 Years of Joys and Sorrows: A Memoir

Absolutely a fantastic telling of the story of Ai Weiwei's father, himself and China in the 20th and 21st centuries. Helps to understand Weiwei's art and how to interrupt what he has completed. Before reading this book I knew little about his art and more about his activism. But now I see how they go hand in hand.
This almost reads like fiction.
I guess we need to add story teller to Ai Weiwei's list of talents.
