Shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Autobiography (2019).

Good Talk won the National Bestseller designation and was named one of the ten best books of the year by Chicago Tribune, The New York Public Library, and Publishers Weekly, and one of the best books of the year by The New York Times Book Review, Time, BuzzFeed, Esquire, Literary Journal, and Kirkus Reviews. "How brown is too brown?" "Can Indians be racist?" "What does real love between really different people look like?" Like many six-year-olds, Mira Jacob's half-Jewish, half-Indian son, Z, has questions about everything. At first they are innocuous enough, but as tensions from the 2016 election spread from the media into his own family, they become much, much more complicated. Trying to answer him honestly, Mira has to think back to where she's gotten her own answers: her most formative conversations about race, color, sexuality, and, of course, love. Written with humor and vulnerability, this deeply relatable graphic memoir is a love letter to the art of conversation—and to the hope that hovers in our most difficult questions.
