“You don’t want to take away any of their innocence. But you have to,” says Pulitzer-winning artist Darrin Bell, whose memoir recounts how he taught his son about racism in the U.S.
Yet in “The Talk,” Bell combines the overtly personal and the sociopolitical in a textured autobiography that blends raw honesty, moving memories and powerful insights on racehis White mother and Black father toward a county line in California a half-century ago.
Before that encounter, Bell had asked his mom why the brightly tinted toy didn’t look like a real gun. Her reply: “Because, son … that’s what’s going to keep you alive.” Bell hopes some readers might see themselves in his father and then summon the strength to have the talk. “You look at your sweet, innocent little baby and you don’t want to,” he says. “And you don’t want to take away any of their innocence. But you have to. I knew it and it takes a lot of courage to do it.”
