Roxane Gay is so great at weaving the intimate and personal with what is most bewildering and upsetting at this moment in culture. Now that she’s here, it’s impossible to imagine what we ever did without her.

Praise Roxane Gay for her big-hearted self-examining intelligence, for her inclusive and forgiving stance, for her courage and determination, for humanizing the theoretical and intellectualizing the mundane, for saying out loud the things we were thinking, for guiding us back to ourselves and returning to us what was ours all along.
#HUNGER BY ROXANE GAY CITATION FULL#
Bad Feminist shows this extraordinary writer’s range-in essays about Scrabble, violence, fairy tales, race, The Hunger Games, longing, and Sweet Valley Confidential, Gay is alternately hilarious, full of righteous anger, confiding, moving: Bad Feminist is like staying up agreeing and arguing with the smartest person you ever met. There are writers who can show you the excellence of their brains and writers who show you the depths of their souls: I don’t know any writer who does both at the same time as brilliantly as Roxane Gay. We should all be lucky enough to be such a bad feminist. With prodigious bravery and eviscerating humor, Roxane Gay takes on culture and politics in Bad Feminist-and gets it right, time and time again. Presidential Endowed Professor of Political Science at Wake Forest University
