memoir-cum-travelogue Peter Carey charts this journey, inspired by Charley^s
passion for Japanese manga and anime, and explores his own resulting
re-evaluation of Japan. Although graphically violent and disturbing, the two
mediums are both inherently concerned with Japan^s rich history and heritage
and hold a huge popular appeal that crosses the generations.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="account-name"><span style="font-size:
10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:&quot;Google Sans&quot;,sans-serif" lang="EN-US">Led by their
adolescent guide Takashi, an uncanny mix of generosity and derision, father and
son look for the hidden puzzles and meanings, searching, often with comic
results, for a greater understanding of these art forms, and for what they come
to refer to as their own ^real Japan^. From Manhattan to Tokyo, Commodore Perry
to Godzilla, and kabuki theatre to the post-war robot craze,&nbsp;Wrong about
Japan&nbsp;is a fascinatingly personal, witty, and moving exploration of two
very different cultures.</span></span></p>
