Barefoot Gen Volume 1: A Cartoon Story of Hiroshima by Keiji Nakazawa
5.0
I started reading Barefoot Gen with Maus in the back of my mind. Maus is brilliant in helping us understand how the Jews suffered in Nazi Germany. While Maus is brilliant, Barefoot Gen is in a league of its own.
Being told from the standpoint of a young kid, we really see how war changes people and how it effects even young minds.
Barefoot Gen is beautiful and devastating. And I'm a better person for having read it.
I'm 25 but I should have read this much earlier. Much much earlier. This should be compulsory reading in every school and college.
