It's Good We Talked About That is a manifesto on lethargy, depression and failed communication. It's a world populated by a spiteful grandma, a doting diarrhoeal pug and a passive-aggressive house plant. Anyone who doesn't know what do with their life will, for better or worse, likely see themselves in these pages.Spanning ten ludicrous and laconic slices of life, Julia Bernhard reveals the world of her protagonist: a collection of everyday, caustic conversations and monologues about art projects, affairs, relationship dramas and procrastination. 'The title is pure irony, because although the book contains much talking, including about highly personal matters, it seems that no one is properly listening. Over a diverse set of episodes, Julia Bernhard places her protagonist across from people who should, theoretically, be interested in her life, such as her grandma, a friend, a lover... However, no interest in her as a person is to be found. Instead, she's lambasted with hollow words and ascriptions that make for a discomforting read. It's Good We Talked About That is nevertheless a joy to read because Julia Bernhard consistently juxtaposes these unspeakable conversations with beautiful imagery. All of her counterparts look so attractive and sensitive that the reader feels like they would like to add them to their own digital network. This chasm of polished surfaces and abysmal indifference to their human counterpart results in a comic book debut by Julia Bernhard that builds on the humour of Woody Allen and which is superbly effective in today's world.' — The jury of Max & Moritz Prize 2020
