She said she feared for his safety, that police tend to think of little Black boys as older and less innocent than they really are • Through evocative illustrations and sharp humour, Bell examines how The Talk shaped intimate and public moments from childhood to adulthood.

What parts of ourselves do we hide or ignore or chase away – because they’re embarrassing, or inconvenient – and at what cost? • Part magical odyssey, part feminist creation myth, Passing for Human is most of all an extraordinary, moving meditation on what it means to be an artist and a woman
