原文简介：

Named one of Publishers Weekly's Top Ten Best Books of 2023 Longlisted for the

Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction 2024 New York Public

Library's Best New Comics of 2023 Top Ten Pick Darrin Bell was six years old

when 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 s and

sharp humor, 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, neighbors, 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 Floyd and Breonna Taylor. And now Bell must decide whether he and

his own six-year-old son are ready to have The Talk.
