Wrong About Japan - Peter Carey

I'm a fan of Carey but this slight memoir felt very much like an out-of-touch man trying to relate to his teenage son's interests, only to reveal more about himself than about his subject. I already know a little bit about manga, anime, Studio Ghibli etc, so some of the explanations felt a bit wince-worthy. There is one very powerful section of the book, though, where a man remembers the firebombing of Tokyo that he experienced as a child; heartbreaking.
