Hiroshima: The Autobiography of Barefoot Gen by Nakazawa Keiji

5.0

Of course I had heard about Barefoot Gen before, nevertheless I didn't feel compelled to read the series until now. This story behind Barefoot Gen adds a whole new dimension to the character. Nakazawa has a way of telling his life's story with such detail and ease which makes his experience of the atomic bomb accessible and understandable. Furthermore, I felt inspired, reading about Nakazawa's determination in his journey to become a professional manga artist. This book has left me wanting to explore his other works as well as the works of the people that inspired him.
