Good and evil in the ashes: The search for a new aesthetic and a new morality in post-WWII Japan, as revealed in Keiji Nakazawa's “Barefoot Gen” and selected late-20th-century Japanese literature
In the wake of two atomic attacks and a crushing military defeat by a foreign power in the summer of 1945, Japan faced an identity crisis. Having been, for centuries, a rulebound society convinced of its own invincibility and racial and cultural superiority, now a devastated Japan struggled to erect not only its streets and cities but also internal structures: in effect, a new aesthetic and a new morality. Focusing largely on Nakazawa Keiji's semi autobiographical four-volume graphic novel Barefoot Gen , which charts the Hiroshima attack, this study examines this moral identity crisis as processed in postwar Japanese literature and popular culture. Other works of fiction and firsthand accounts of the atomic attacks and their aftermath are also used to probe the roots and development of this crisis, still evident in modern Japanese readers' persistent fascination with certain literary motifs including technology, childhood, autonomy, monsters, and apocalypse.

What and when and how frequently we eat is driven less and less by the choices of our families, coworkers and others, and more and more by impulse, personal taste and favorite nutrition memes, and marketing schemes such as Taco Bell's promotion of late-night eating known as \"Fourthmeal: the Meal Between Dinner & Breakfast.\" A U.S. Department of Agriculture study found that eating just one large meal a day versus three normal-sized meals lowers weight and body fat but raises blood pressure; three meals per day lowers blood pressure.
