If you read one book this month, let it be this gem by Roxane Gay . . . Tackling topics as varied as racial privilege, Chris Brown, feminism, Fifty Shades of Grey and Trayvon Martin in her typically spot-on and engaging style. This is a book all your girlfriends will want to borrow. * Pride * A thoughtful and often hilarious new collection of essays. * Chicago Tribune * I know there are still four and a half months left, but I'm calling it now: 2014 is the year of Roxane Gay. I just devoured her book, Bad Feminist . . . Amazing. * Rookie * Fascinating . . . An important and pioneering contemporary writer . . . Readers will immediately understand the appeal of Gay's intimate and down-to-earth voice . . . An important contribution to the complicated terrain of gender politics. * Boston Globe * An assortment of comical, yet astute essays that touch on Gay's personal evolution as a woman, popular culture throughout the recent past, and the state of feminism today. * Harper's Bazaar * Roxane Gay is the brilliant girl-next-door: your best friend and your sharpest critic . . . She is by turns provocative, chilling, hilarious; she is also required reading. * People * What makes Bad Feminist such a good read isn't only Gay's ability to deftly weave razor-sharp pop cultural analysis and criticism with a voice that is both intimate and relatable. It's that she's incapable of blindly accepting any kind of orthodoxy. * San Francisco Chronicle * Gay's essays expertly weld her personal experiences with broader gender trends occurring politically and in popular culture. * Huffington Post * Alternately friendly and provocative, wry and serious, her takes on everything from Girls to Fifty Shades of Grey help to recontextualize what feminism is--and what it can be. * Time Out (New York) * Gay's essays are consistently smart and provocative. * USA Today * Roxane Gay applies her discerning eye to everything from Paula Deen to The Batchelor. * Marie Claire * Refreshing . . . [Gay's] greatest gift as a writer is energy, enthusiasm - sheer gusto. She loves bad television, and enjoys terrible films, and is overjoyed by an unexpected triple word score.

She's really punk in her approach and her book Bad Feminist has liberated a lot of women by making it clear you can be a conflicted, complicated woman and still identify with feminism. -- Lena Dunham Let this be the year of Roxane Gay. * Time Magazine * Gay is my favorrite current writer. -- Jessica Valenti * Guardian * Roxane Gay is so great at weaving the intimate and personal with what is most bewildering and upsetting at this moment in culture.

A strikingly fresh cultural critic. -- Ron Charles * Washington Post *.
