Talk to Me

Author of SEARCHING FOR WHITOPIA and New Yorker contributor Rich Benjamin's TALK TO ME, a memoir tracing the fall-out in his mother's life of the CIA-backed coup that ended his grandfather's two-week long presidency of Haiti in 1957, the secrecy that shrouded that trauma within his family, and how it carried into his own life, coming of age as a black boy with sickle cell anemia in Reagan's America, to Naomi Gibbs at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
