I liked all of these.

Well, I said mine in the other thread too. Sea of Ink by Richard Weihe and The High Life by Jean-Pierre Martinet.

I never end up reading much from the same year, since my library takes a lot of persuasion to order things and I can only inter-library loan works that are at least a year old.

>Sea of Ink by Richard Weihe

"A beautiful novella in 50 short chapters and 10 pictures about the life of Bada Shanren, the most influential Chinese painter of all times. In 1626, Bada Shanren is born into the Chinese royal family. When the old Ming Dynasty crumbles, he becomes an artist, committed to capturing the essence of nature with a single brushstroke. Then the rulers of the new Qing Dynasty discover his identity and Bada must feign madness to escape."
