An illustrated book of prose-poems, commemorating the fact that seventy-two years on, Hiroshima has been completely rebuilt, and aside from the A-Bomb Dome, the Peace Museum and a scattering of monuments, visitors to the city find no real trace of the horrors. But, it¿s impossible to go to Hiroshima and not think about what happened there. On the 70th anniversary, the confronting images of the charred landscape, shadows of people vaporized, melted iron, bloated bodies and that dusty unreal world dominated the media. Bizarrely, in a few newspapers, these images overlapped with celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the publication of `Alice¿s Adventures in Wonderland.¿
