Wrong about Japan, Peter Carey
In Wrong about Japan, Peter Carey brings us along with his twelve-year-old son Charley in a travel to Japan through the lens of manga and anime. While interviewing the most reknown artists of the genre, from Mr. Tomino (Mobile Suit Gundam) to Mr. Miyazaki (Grave of the Fireflies, Totoro) and Mr. Kitakubo (Blood: the last vampire), he highlights some glimpses of the Japanese culture and history that appear in sometimes tiny details in the artworks, such as why an anime warrior uses clogs with only one heel or tooth, or the meaning of the single rope around Totoro's camphor tree.

O miúdo que pregava pregos numa tábua, Manuel Alegre
Escrito à primeira pessoa, «O miúdo que pregava pregos numa tábua» não usa muito o eu. Prefera utilizar expressões contornadas, perifrases vindo de um pasado que talvez possa ser o do narrador ou não, a memória enganando-se com tantos episódios da televisão ou do cinema que nem sabemos se todas as nossas memórias são verdadeiras ou não.
