Staff Pick of the Month
by Mira Jacob
(PS3610.A356415 A46 2019)

Good Talk is a unique, humorous, and touching graphic memoir that explores difficult conversations about race, sex, politics, and family. The book is inspired by the author's popular Buzzfeed piece "37 Difficult Questions from My Mixed-Raced Son." In this memoir, she answers increasingly difficult questions from her six-year-old, Zakir, while also exploring her own past through conversations with family, friends, and strangers.
