PRAISE FOR NAKAZAWA KEIJI'S BAREFOOT GEN Some of the best comics ever done..... (R. Crumb )

It might seem odd that a comic book could teach us so much about the unspeakable, but that is what Barefoot Gen does, in an inspiring way. Hiroshima: The Autobiography of Barefoot Gen is the equally gripping but true story of A-bomb survivor and artist, Nakazawa Keiji, and how his now-classic manga, or comic book, came to be. Read it, and never forget. (Frederik L. Schodt )

Barefoot Gen eloquently depicts the experience of surviving an atomic bomb, deriving its power from the individuality of its characters and its emotional honesty. Richard Minear introduces us here to Gen as an adult, revealing the process by which Nakazawa Keiji decided to tell his story—when no one wanted to hear it. Nakazawa inherited his father’s outrage at hypocrisy, and the manga is primarily a eulogy to his father and little brother. But this version of his life story shows that Nakazawa owes his bravery to his mother, who suffered for many years after 1945 from both long-term radiation sickness and the casual cruelty of unsympathetic relatives. (Hein, Laura )

We can find a lot to be thankful for in Keiji Nakazawa's works like Hiroshima and Barefoot Gen, which are redemptive tales of striving for peace as well as tales of anger at the follies of governments and those in power. I for one am thankful that Nakazawa fell in love with comics and decided to become a manga artist. (Anime News Network )

In his moving autobiography, Nakazawa recounts how he transformed his experiences into the adventures of his alter-ago Gen Nakaoka. (Los Angeles Times ) Praise for Nakazawa Keiji's Barefoot Gen:
