Summary
Bloomsbury presents Good Talk by Mira Jacob, read by Mira Jacob.
'Does Donald Trump hate Muslims?' 'Is that how people really walk on the moon?' 'Is it bad to be brown?' 'Are white people afraid of brown people?'
Inspired by her viral BuzzFeed piece ‘37 Difficult Questions from My Mixed-Raced Son’, Mira Jacob responds to: her six-year-old, Zakir, who asks if the new president hates brown boys like him; uncomfortable relationship advice from her parents, who came to the United States from India one month into their arranged marriage; and increasingly fraught exchanges with her Trump-supporting in-laws.
Jacob also investigates her own past, including how it felt to be a brown-skinned New Yorker on 9/11. As earnest and moving as they are laugh-out-loud funny, these are the stories that have shaped one life but will resonate with many others.

Poignant & Darkly Funny
A brilliant tour deforce if writing and storytelling. I was gripped from beginning to end and listened to it in 3 days flat.

Gripping
This book is so beautifully well written and performed. It made me laugh, cry, groan, sigh, smile... Super engaging and drew me in immediately each time I started back to listen. Honest, raw, true.
