Good Talk, indeed

 

 

There’s a wonderful new (2019) graphic novel out about race in America: Good Talk, A Memoir in Conversations, by Mira Jacob.

 

The author is an East Indian woman married to a white Jewish man, and the conversations started when their five year old son began to ask questions about growing up brown in America while Trump’s star was ascending. What DO you say to that beautiful little brown face looking up to you for guidance and protection?

 

This book will make you laugh, and it will make you cry.
