Mira Jacob (shares a) Good Talk

“If I write this book, it's really gonna hurt — because if I write the truth, it's not a comfortable truth.”Mira Jacob is many things - acclaimed author / illustrator, cultural critic, awesome mother, and a pretty funny brown woman in Brooklyn who happens to be from New Mexico. For AAPI Heritage month, we’re sharing past conversations with amazing Asian comics creators AND a few days later - a Quarantined Comics companion episode on their graphic novels.Mira’s debut graphic memoir ‘Good Talk: A Memoir in Conversations’ is one of Raman’s all-time favorite books - and Mira’s novel “The Sleepwalker’s Guide to Dancing” is also most excellent. In ‘Good Talk’, Mira shares hard conversations not just her young (mixed race) son, but also with her family and friends about experiences of race in America - from her childhood to the modern era. Mira shares not just her process - but stories that will make you laugh, stop, realize, maybe even cry, and then laugh again.LEARN ABOUT MIRA mirajacob.com IG @goodtalkthanks  // TW @mirajacob GOOD TALK: goodreads.com/book/show/36700347-good-talk MENTIONS MOVIE: Heathers (1989) - imdb.com/title/tt0097493/ PERSON: Zadie Smith (Author) - goodreads.com/author/show/2522.Zadie_Smith PERSON: Arundhati Roy (Author) - goodreads.com/author/show/6134.Arundhati_Roy See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
