Good Talk: A Memoir in Conversations

Good Talk: A Memoir in Conversations

A â€œvibrant, inventive, and vulnerableâ€ (Bustle) graphic memoir about American identity, interracial families, and our most difficult conversations, from the acclaimed author ofÂ The Sleepwalkerâ€™s Guide to Dancing.

â€œBy turns hilarious and heart-rending, itâ€™s exactly the book America needs at this moment.â€â€”Celeste Ng

â€œHow brown is too brown?â€
â€œCan Indians be racist?â€
â€œWhat does real love between really different people look like?â€

Like many six-year-olds, Mira Jacobâ€™s half-Jewish, half-Indian son, Z, has questions aboutÂ everything. At first they are innocuous enough, but as tensions from the 2016 election spread from the media into his own family, they become much, much more complicated. Trying to answer him honestly, Mira has to think back to where sheâ€™s gotten her own answers: her most formative conversations about race, color, sexuality, and, of course, love.Â
Â
Written with humor and vulnerability, this deeply relatable graphic memoir is a love letter to the art of conversationâ€”and to the hope that hovers in our most difficult questions.
