Novelist Peter Carey talks with Steve Paulson about the trip he describes in his book “Wrong about Japan: A Father’s Journey with His Son.”  Carey took his then 12 year old son Charley to meet directors of Japanese anime films and creators of manga comics.  Carey saw evidence of the Japanese experience of WWII everywhere, but his hosts assured him he was incapable of understanding their culture.  We hear excerpts from Japanese films and TV shows to illustrate Carey’s remarks.
