In this beautifully illustrated and deeply philosophical graphic memoir, legendary artist Ai Weiwei explores the connection between artistic expression and intellectual freedom through the lens of the Chinese zodiac. As a child living in exile during the Cultural Revolution, Ai Weiwei often found himself with nothing to read but government-approved comic books. Although they were restricted by the confines of political propaganda, Ai Weiwei was struck by the artists’ ability to express their thoughts on art and humanity through graphic storytelling. Now, decades later, Ai Weiwei and Italian comic artist Gianluca Costantini present Zodiac, Ai Weiwei’s first graphic memoir. Inspired by the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac and their associated human characteristics, Ai Weiwei masterfully interweaves ancient Chinese folklore with stories of his life, family, and career. The narrative shifts back and forth through the years—at once in the past, present, and future—mirroring memory and our relationship to time. As readers delve deeper into the beautifully illustrated pages of Zodiac, they will find not only a personal history of Ai Weiwei and an examination of the sociopolitical climate in which he makes his art, but a philosophical exploration of what it means to find oneself through art and freedom of expression. Contemplative and political, Zodiac will inspire readers to return again and again to Ai Weiwei’s musings on the relationship between art, time, and our shared humanity.

AURORA is a reality-based, fiction title that takes place in the late 1960's into the early '80's. The story follows Meggie, a head strong Jewish woman set in Maryland and Washington, D. C., in the shadow of the Viet Nam War through the conflicts in Central America. Meggie and her circle of friends, family and acquaintances, portray the tensions, social mores and activities familiar to all who were molded by the headlines, pressures and conflicts of the day. Meggie is sixteen years old, has long wavy blonde hair, aquamarine eyes, stands 5'6" tall, and weighs about 115 pounds. Her dad is a republican banker and her mom, a resentful ex-concert pianist. Not only did the teens of the era have the pressure of their peers to deal with they lived with the cloud of the Vietnam War, the nuclear bomb, and the vivid image of the assassination of their president. As if this weren't enough to bear at such a vulnerable age, this young woman also had the albatross of death to carry. This is a story of how love, friendships, relationships, history and events shaped and molded her life. It is the tale of a young woman who is determined, stubborn and strong-willed trying desperately to grow up. Anyone who grew up through the counter culture of the '60's will undoubtedly relate to this book as transitions are introduced through historic headlines, right up to the Central American conflict in the '80's. All who have a propensity for history will watch it in the making and witness it through the eyes of an innocent, though determined, young woman as they laugh and cry alternately. Nearly anyone who enjoys reading a good book, who has the desire to learn and understand will find AURORA difficult to put down once they have begun to read.
