Opinions by Roxane Gay

Since the publication of her groundbreaking books ‘Bad Feminist’ and ‘Hunger’, Roxane Gay has continued to tackle big issues embroiling society – state-sponsored violence and mass shootings, women’s rights post-Dobbs, online disinformation, and the limits of empathy – alongside more individually personal matters: can I tell my co-worker her perfume makes me sneeze? Is it acceptable to schedule a daily 8am meeting? In her role as a New York Times opinion section contributor and the publication’s ‘Work Friend’ columnist, she reaches millions of readers with her wise voice and sharp insights. ‘Opinions’ is a collection of Roxane Gay’s best nonfiction pieces from the past ten years.
