Good Talk: A Memoir in Conversations

Mira Jacob's Good Talk: A Memoir in Conversations (2019–present, Penguin Random House) is a single-issue graphic memoir that uses a series of candid, often humorous dialogues to explore race, identity, and family in contemporary America. Published by Penguin Random House, the book is built around Jacob's own conversations with her young son, her immigrant parents, and her white husband, weaving together personal history with larger cultural questions. The work is most associated with Jacob herself, who serves as writer and artist, and it stands out for its innovative use of collage-like art and its unflinching, warm look at navigating love and difference in a divided world.
