| book description |
From beloved and bestselling author Roxane Gay, ""a strikingly fresh cultural critic"" (Washington Post) comes an exhilarating collection of her thought-provoking essays on culture, politics, and everything in between. Since the publication of the groundbreaking 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 personalized matters: can I tell my co-worker her perfume makes me sneeze? Is it acceptable to schedule a daily 8 am 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 into social justice. Opinions, a must-read example of powerful cultural criticism, is a collection of Roxane Gay's best nonfiction pieces from the past ten years. Covering a wide range of topics--politics, feminism, the culture wars, civil rights, race in America, and much more--with an all-new introduction in which she reflects on the past decade, this sharp anthology will delight Roxane Gay's devotees and draw new readers to this inimitable talent. Ten years of seismic cultural shifts. One inimitable voice to make sense of it all. Political Commentary: With her trademark incisive analysis, Gay reflects on the turbulent political landscape of the last decade in America, from the Trump presidency to the fight for civil rights. Feminist Essays: From the author of Bad Feminist, a searing look at women's rights in a post-Dobbs world and the ongoing fight for equality and bodily autonomy. Culture Wars: Unflinching examinations of state-sponsored violence, online disinformation, and the limits of empathy in modern society. The Work Friend: A collection of her beloved ""Work Friend"" columns from The New York Times, offering wise and witty advice on everything from perfume etiquette to 8 a.m. meetings.
