A quick book recommendation from current Hiroshima-ken JET Gail Cetnar Meadows<\/a><\/strong>…<\/em><\/p>\n

Now and then I read a book that’s so good I want to tell everyone I meet about it, and I’ve recently finished one such book. For those interested in learning more about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, I highly recommend a graphic novel written by atomic bomb survivor Keiji Nakazawa. Barefoot Gen: A Cartoon Story of Hiroshima<\/a><\/em> is a 10-volume graphic novel loosely based on Nakazawa’s experiences and those of other Hiroshima residents who survived the bomb. The book taught me a lot about what happened in Hiroshima in the year’s following World War II \u2014 things beyond what I learned visiting Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Museum or listening to the accounts of hibakusha<\/em>. For those who are interested, I’ve written a piece on the Wide Island View<\/a> talking a little more about it and encouraging others to check it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
