    “i don't read a lot of biographies or memoirs — i'm so glad i committed to this one. my respect and appreciation for ai weiwei as an artist, revolutionary, human, rebel and symbol (oh the irony) expanded. his life, work, art and personhood are woven masterfully and inextricably with China's history and his father's life, art and actions. but the resulting braid is still 100% belongs to ai weiwei.”
