THE TALK - DARRIN BELL GEBUNDEN

From the winner of the Pulitzer Prize  an urgent graphic memoir on police brutality and
anti-Blackness in twenty-first-century Amerikkka'The Ta-Nehisi Coates of comics' GARRY TRUDEAU
CREATOR OF DOONESBURY 'You won't be able to put it down' ALISON BECHDEL  AUTHOR OF FUN HOME 'I
loved this book. You will too' VICTOR LAVALLE  AUTHOR OF THE CHANGELING Darrin Bell was six
years old when he had The Talk: his mother told him he couldn't have a realistic water gun. She
said she feared for his safety  that police tend to think of little Black boys as older and
less innocent than they really are. Through evocative illustrations and sharp humour  Bell
examines how The Talk shaped 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.
