She said that police think little Black boys older and less innocent than they are. So began The Talk...The Ta-Nehisi Coates of comicsGARRY TRUDEAU, creator of DoonesburyDarrin Bell has produced another American classicGUARDIANThrough evocative illustrations and sharp humour, Darrin Bell examines how The Talk all Black parents must have with their children shaped his intimate and public moments from childhood to adulthood. While coming of age in Los Angeles - and finding a voice through cartooning - Bell becomes painfully aware of being regarded as dangerous by white teachers, neighbours and police officers, and thus of his mortality. Drawing attention to the brutal murders of African Americans, and showcasing revealing insights and cartoons along the way, he brings us up to the moment of reckoning when people took to the streets protesting the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.And now Bell must decide whether he and his own six-year-old son are ready to have The Talk.

An expressive and direct work about racisms impact, and the problems we have discussing it * Guardian, *Best Graphic Novels of the Year* *Its nearly impossible to appreciate another persons truth, but if a brilliant storyteller offers to light the way, take him up on it. Bell is the Ta-Nehisi Coates of comics, an indispensable explainer of how it feels to grow up in a world that repeatedly treats you as other. The talk with my white sons boiled down to Be kind. Its hard to overstate the distance between that admonition and Stay alive -- Garry Trudeau, creator of DoonesburyVisually stunning, and propulsive, with an absorbing narrative voice... Reminiscent of longform comics memoirs such as Alison Bechdels Fun Home and Marjane Satrapis Persepolis... This epic portrait of an artist is a masterpiece... The Talk makes a penetrative, and lasting, impression * NPR *Propulsive reading, drawn with urgency and verve. Once you pick up The Talk, you wont be able to put it down -- Alison Bechdel, author of Fun HomeA moving portrait... funny and touching, intellectually and emotionally stimulating. Theres pride and prejudice, family drama, and a love story. I loved this book. You will too -- Victor LaValle, author of The ChangelingA Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist draws on his childhood in Los Angeles to explore racism on a deeply personal level. Theres a poignancy, too, in the cyclical nature of the story: Bell, now a father, is wrestling with the same questions his own parents face * New York Times *A deeply personal, brutally honest, and achingly funny graphic novel... The Talk is a strikingly illustrated vision -- Lalo Alcaraz, creator of La CucarachaDarrin Bells first foray into graphic novels is a triumph. A cinematically comic, coming-of-age blend of race, culture, and gratuitous nerdity. Wonderful -- Keith Knight, creator of The K Chronicles and Woke Details ISBN178733452X Author Darrin Bell Publisher Vintage Publishing Year 2023 ISBN-10 178733452X ISBN-13 9781787334526 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2023-06-08 UK Release Date 2023-06-08 Imprint Jonathan Cape Ltd Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2023-06-08 NZ Release Date 2023-06-08 Pages 352 DEWEY 741.5 Audience General Subtitle From the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novelist Alternative 9781529907841 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
