It took me about an hour to read this whole thing. If you are like me and find the Hiroshima event fascinating, I highly recommend doing this. The piece follows several people who ended up in a park together the night after the bomb, and hauntingly captures the mood of that night and the horrifying physical details of what people went through. I definitely think I'll remember some images from this article for a while.
- gunnihinn 10y agoThe article was long ago published as a stand-alone book. I bought and read the book before I ever knew it came from the New Yorker. It's one of the most haunting things I've read, and I guard that book jealously, which is a long-winded way of recommending you find the book and keep it around.
