You’ll also have exclusive access to weekly discussions, exclusive book club features, and subscriber-only content like the recipes for the food I’m always posting on Instagram. Every day I looked forward to opening my Google Reader (RIP) and reading about the lives of complete strangers who seemed so compelling. Sometimes, I am an academic.
I am very attached to things that fade into obsolescence. Gibson’s Bookstore has kindly assembled an order page featuring all the titles we’ll be reading. I was the first black woman to lead a Marvel comic when I wrote World of Wakanda. If other independent bookstores do this, you can also find those links here. What mattered is how they made me want to understand the world from their perspective.
I edited Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Cultureand The Selected Works of Audre Lorde. I have written a great many things in publications like Harper’s Bazaar, McSweeney’s, Virginia Quarterly Review, Town & Country, Black Warrior Review, A Public Space and I won’t bore you with it all.
The Portable Feminist Reader
Out now
From writer and cultural critic Roxane Gay, a dynamic and strikingly relevant look at a feminist canon as expansive rather than definitive
With selected writings by ancient, historic, and more recent feminist voices and an introduction, headnotes, and an inspired list of multimedia recommendations, Roxane Gay presents multicultural perspectives, ecofeminism, feminism and disability, feminist labor, gender perspectives, and Black feminism.
I only make men call me Dr. Gay. That’s self-explanatory.

I'm a fan of baby elephants, but really, who isn't?

Yes, they will be paid a good and fair wage for their work. Writer, editor, cultural critic.
