At an increasingly fraught time for immigrants and their families, \u003ci\u003eGood Talk\u003c\/i\u003e delves into the difficult conversations about race, sex, love, and family that seem to be unavoidable these days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspired by her popular \u003ci\u003eBuzzFeed\u003c\/i\u003e piece \"37 Difficult Questions from My Mixed-Raced Son,\" here are Jacob's responses 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 the imaginary therapy sessions she has with celebrities from Bill Murray to Madonna. Jacob also investigates her own past, from her memories of being the only non-white fifth grader to win a Daughters of the American Revolution essay contest to how it felt to be a brown-skinned New Yorker on 9\/11. As earnest and moving as they are sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, these are the stories that have formed one American life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011294576880,"sku":"9780399589041","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780399589041_p0.jpg?v=1763699145","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780399589041","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
