I borrowed Darrin Bell’s The Talk from the library and read it while eating dinner tonight.
I appreciate the labor process he must have went through to share his experiences through art and literature. He did an incredible job. Even though the topic is heavy there are moments of joy and laughter which is what life is about.
When I read his Jewish mom asked his dad to drive them to an apostolic temple, the story had me hooked.
At the end of the Pulitzer Prize cartoon- biography ( I know it’s a graphic novel) I wondered if my brother ever got “The Talk” from our father because I certainly never sat down to any type of talk. Maybe it’s because I’m a female or maybe I did get “the Talk” in a more linear form. All through my childhood and into adulthood I’ve been given the “Talk” and I just took it for granted.
Can someone take a talk for granted? Is it something to take for granted? is the person who doesn’t get the “Talk” free in any way?
