Omschrijving
An anthology of first-person essays which tackle rape, assault and harassment head-on, edited and with an introduction by bestselling author Roxane Gay.
an important book...observationally sharp, the writing often as vivid as bruises...the voices here are clear and compelling and crushing.
The diversity is striking - not only of perspectives, but approach, too. This is a book of testimonies, indignations, reproaches, meditations, written with poignancy and skill.
Gay's introduction moved me to tears, as did many of the pieces contributed by household names-Gabrielle Union, Ally Sheedy-but accounts from "regular" women moved me even more. Perhaps that's the lesson we're meant to take away from Not that Bad: we're all "regular." Shocking as they are, many of these stories will be familiar to us all-and we all deserve better
The lauded social critic and provocateur curates a diverse and unvarnished collection of personal essays reckoning with the experiences and systemic dysfunction that produced #MeToo.
an unflinching look at the world and the way in which women are treated...In this potent book, these are the stories that need to be heard; these are the stories that will make change happen.
Full of spectacular writing from both established and emerging voices.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Not That Bad is not an easy read: it is emotional, it is troubling, but it is also absolutely essential.
Roxane Gay is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Bad Feminist and Hunger, the novel An Untamed State, and the short story collections Difficult Women and Ayiti. A contributing opinion writer to the New York Times, she has also written for Time, the Los Angeles Times, The Nation, The Rumpus and Salon, amongst others. She is the author of World of Wakanda for Marvel. She lives in Los Angeles.
