The Talk by Darrin Bell

challenging emotional hopeful medium-paced

5.0

An absolutely essential book that probably won't be read by the people who need to experience it. Bell documents his 50 years in America as a black man, reflecting on all the shit you can probably guess he's been through, as well as the impact of major social events. I was tempted to post the page where he has "the talk" with his son, but while beautifully written, it is the culmination of the whole story, so it didn't feel right. You just need to read it to get the full impact.
