A bold, wry, and intimate graphic memoir about American identity, interracial families, and the realities that divide us, from the acclaimed author of The Sleepwalker’s Guide to Dancing.
“By turns hilarious and heart-rending, it’s exactly the book America needs at this moment.”—Celeste Ng
“Who taught Michael Jackson to dance?”
“Is that how people really walk on the moon?”
“Is it bad to be brown?”
“Are white people afraid of brown people?”
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.
“How brown is too brown?”
“Can Indians be racist?”
“What does real love between really different people look like?”
Written with humor and vulnerability, this deeply relatable graphic memoir is a love letter to the art of conversation—and to the hope that hovers in our most difficult questions.
I am the author and illustrator of Good Talk: A Memoir in Conversations. My first novel, The Sleepwalker’s Guide to Dancing, was a Barnes & Noble Discover New Writers pick, shortlisted for India’s Tata First Literature Award, and longlisted for the Brooklyn Literary Eagles Prize.
My writing and drawings have appeared in The New York Times, Electric Literature, Tin House, Literary Hub, Guernica, Vogue, the Telegraph, and Buzzfeed, and I have a drawn column on Shondaland. I am currently the Visiting Professor at The New School, and a founding faculty member of the MFA Program at Randolph College.
If I could travel back in time, I would avoid long journeys by boat and take a pair of tweezers.
The Sleepwalker's Guide to Dancing is my first novel. Good Talk is my first memoir, and my first drawn book. Apparently I am big on firsts.
很有趣的一本書,內容和形式都很新穎,很多敘述方式看似好像是漫畫和與小朋友交流,但真的越簡單反而越能將事情分析的很透徹,也更直擊人心。也許對於很多immigrants來說,找尋身份認同並剋服這種與生俱來的struggle是這一生需要修讀的功課。

評分Super Cool
評分Poignant and funny, candor and warm. 這是作為母親的作者在努力迴答棕色皮膚的兒子關於美國種族歧視社會問題的思考和旅程。拿起就不想放下的graphic memoir,它感人的同時,也讓我再一次認真的體會這句話:politics is always personal. 尤其活在美國這樣的國傢,作為有色人種,這並不是個人可以逃離的現實。這是本從內容到風格結閤得恰到好處的迴憶錄。棒。
