Covering a wide range of topics—politics, feminism, the culture wars, civil rights, and much more—with an all-new introduction in which she reflects on the past decade in America, this sharp, thought-provoking anthology will delight Roxane Gay’s devotees and draw new readers to this inimitable talent.

各界推薦

各界推薦 Review“Insightful, witty and accessible prose. . . . Gay has an ability to blend the personal and political in a way that feels simultaneously gentle and brutal. . . . For 1,400 or so words you look at a cultural moment through Gay’s eyes and, by the end, you see the world differently.” — The Guardian"A true star in the literary world known for her uncompromising opinions, timely takes on modern American culture, and in-depth profiles." — Shondaland“Gay made a name for herself with her pieces, which often turned conventional opinion writing on its head—decisive, funny takes that sat squarely in the space between logic and empathy, and eschewed conventional pundit wisdom. These pieces have been gathered in Opinions, and they showcase her work as a thinker, grappling with the questions of our time.” — Harper’s Bazaar"Her opinions are not just indictments of the suffering people went through, but intimate conversations capable of uplifting the reader during any phase of their life." — The Harvard Crimson “Gay’s essays are brilliant and incisive. . . . Each piece on its own is worthy of attention. Taken collectively, this title is not to be missed.” — Library Journal (starred review)"This is a must-read for not only fans of Gay’s work, but for everyone interested in reading intellectual, accessible, and important takes on timely topics." — Booklist (Starred Review)“This sharp, thought-provoking anthology will delight Roxane Gay’s devotees and draw new readers to this inimitable talent.” — USA Today"Essays, op-eds, and pop-culture pieces from the acclaimed novelist and memoirist. . . . [Gay] has a gift for clean, well-ordered prose, and strong feelings on matters of race, gender, and sexuality. Most important, she possesses a fearlessness essential to doing the job right; though she can observe an issue from various angles, she never wrings her hands or delivers milquetoast commentaries. . . . she comes to her opinions more out of empathy than ideology. . . . Fierce and informed riffs on current events and enduring challenges." — Kirkus Reviews
