The TradeWaiters

For this episode we read the first two volumes of "Barefoot Gen," Keiji Nakazawa's semi-autobiographical account of surviving the bombing of Hiroshima when he was six years old. "Barefoot Gen" is the best book about the worst thing. Be prepared for it to be super traumatic, but no other book is doing what this one does. Music by Sleuth For a complete change of pace, our next book will be the first two volumes of "Witch Hat Atelier" by Kamome Shirahama.
