Book Review: Good Talk: A Memoir in Conversation

West Lafayette Public Library Director Nick Schenkel reviews the graphic novel: "Good Talk: A Memoir in Conversation" by Mira Jacob. This book explores the realms of the very contemporary experiences of immigrants and their descendants.  Jacob takes us deep into the immigrant experience, using first person dialogue presented in graphic novel form to examine  her life from childhood through motherhood, in a story as old as the colonization of the Americas and as new as today.

Nick Schenkel, retired Director of the West Lafayette Public Library, is a long time WBAA contributor who reviews books from all walks of literature.
