The Talk is a memoir written in graphic novel format. I don't normally love this format, but political cartoonist Darrin Bell has done something amazing with this book. The Talk takes readers through the first 40+ years of his life growing up as a biracial person in America. The pain and trauma he has experienced are palpable through his stunning illustrations. This book is full of American history as seen from a personal perspective. I highly recommend this book for all readers from middle school to adulthood. It is powerful and impactful.
