Good Talk

Good Talk: A Memoir in Conversations by Mira Jacob
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is exceptional. Mira Jacob's simple way of presenting the issues of race and bigotry set as a series of questions from her small son and other conversations she's had was masterful. Overtly political and honest, some readers may not agree with all that Jacob had to say. I'm only sad there wasn't more of Jacob's text.

The audiobook is a full cast recording to capture the conversational style of the writing. The print book is graphic novel, written and drawn by Jacob. I loved the audiobook and have poured through Jacob's Instagram for examples of the printed pages.

Full disclosure that Jacob overuses the f-word and acknowledges sex. Mature teens could read this book. More adults should read this book. This is exactly the type of conversation we should be having.

Happy reading and happy talking--
