Description
Darrin Bell's graphic memoir 'The Talk' is a powerful exploration of police brutality and anti-Blackness in America. At six years old, the author received an uncomfortable lesson from his mother about the dangers he faced as a young Black boy.
Through evocative illustrations and sharp humour, Bell examines how this experience shaped intimate and public moments from childhood to adulthood. He draws attention to the brutal murders of African Americans and showcases revealing insights and cartoons along the way.
The book culminates with the moment of reckoning when people took to the streets protesting the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, forcing Bell to confront his own mortality and decide whether he is ready to have 'The Talk' with his own six-year-old son.
