The Talk

A group of experienced narrators vividly presents this series of conversations with young people about race. Fans of audiobooks will recognize many names in the impressive lineup, including those of Michael Crouch, Janina Edwards, and Guy Lockard. The diversity of the cast reflects the male and female writers who tackle serious topics such as discrimination among elementary school children. Portraying a diverse group ranging from African-Americans to Asians, the narrators capture the anecdotes and conversations with dynamism. They make the complicated dialogue among parents, siblings, and other children compelling, realistic, and moving. This timely production addresses an increasingly insistent contemporary issue. One can listen to the short, powerful chapters in any order. M.R. � AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
