Wrong About Japan: A Father's Journey with His Son
by Peter Carey
by Peter Carey
This little book is surprising because it is about so much, and everything it is about is covered so effectively. Here are some things that it is about:
-It is about Japan, and a Westerner in Japan, and then it is about cultural misunderstanding.
-It is about fathers and sons, and how they want to connect, and how hard that can be.
-It is about Manga and Anime, and it is about art and culture and how cultures consume art.
-It is about war, and children of war. And about how those children become post-war adults and that effects everything they see.
Carey says and does a lot in this impressive little book.
