Much to learn from solid conversations…

Good Talk: A Memoir in Conversations is named one of the ten best of the year by PUBLISHERS WEEKLY and one of the best books of the year by Time • Esquire • Library Journal!

In Good Talk, questions can be covered upon reading through many conversations:

“How brown is too brown?”
“Can Indians be racist?”
“What does real love between really different people look like?”

Like many six-year-olds, Mira Jacob’s half-Jewish, half-Indian son, Z, has questions about 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 she’s gotten her own answers: her most formative conversations about race, color, sexuality, and, of course, love.

Written with humor and vulnerability, Good Talk is a deeply relatable graphic memoir is a love letter to the art of conversation—and to the hope that hovers in our most difficult questions.
