Pulitzer buzz for An Untamed State and a new book of essays, Bad - TopicsExpress



          

Pulitzer buzz for An Untamed State and a new book of essays, Bad Feminist, out yesterday?! Its a good year to be Roxane Gay! Check out this great review of Bad Feminist in Slate and continue to get psyched for her visit in April! Gay is like the best college seminar leader you ever had, and I spent hours after some of these essays contemplating body image and whether Fifty Shades of Grey is absurd or insidious, but her essays are not really pieces of writing that you agree or disagree with. While she shows a refreshing willingness to pose questions, treat them as deadly important, and not resolve them, the true value of her work might lie in illuminating, with startling immediacy and boldness, what it is like to be Roxane Gay, an author who filters every observation through her deep sense of the world as fractured, beautiful, and complex.
