Just go read the damn book.

July 7, 2015 by Mrs Smith Reads Leave a Comment

Roxane Gay

I just can’t say anything bad about Roxane Gay. I love The Butter (and The Toast), and I adored every essay in Bad Feminist. Reading Bad Feminist was like hanging out in my bedroom with my high school best friend. I felt warm, and safe, and happy all the way through. Gay writes from the heart and she isn’t afraid to look carefully at herself and admit some shit is hard for her to do. She’s honest and funny. And that’s it. That’s all you need to know. I can’t write like Roxane Gay, so, do yourself a favor, follow her on Twitter (@rgay) then go read Bad Feminist instead of Mrs Smith Reads. Thanks and you’re welcome.

Gin-soaked, mildly European democratic-socialist popinjay and avid curator of esoteric ephemera. I work in the future. US passport, Netherlands resident, global citizen. My goal this year is to read authors from diverse backgrounds, especially women, and non-western writers, particularly speculative fiction, political analysis and historical memoirs. (Occasional cursing.) View Mrs Smith Reads's reviews»
