it was amazing
bookshelves: 2023-reads

My expectations were so high and Roxane exceeded them! It was a pleasure having access to all the New York Times and New Yorker articles that were hidden behind paywalls 🫠.

Race, politics, and toxic masculinity were dominant topics, each one filled with a collection of Gay’s highlights. Her writing style is so consistent in its astuteness and razor sharp perspective, it was sometimes hard to differentiate articles from 2013 to 2023.

Gay reads the audio, offering additional texture to her rich observations. Her opinions are crammed into Opinions like sardine in a can, going as far as to end with notable advice for Ask Roxane fans who email their questions to the author. Some of my fave pieces: Why People Are So Awful Online, It’s Time To Rage, I Don’t Want to Watch Slavery Fan Fiction, Nate Parker and the Limits of Empathy, Dave Chappelle’s Brittle Ego, Sarah Paulson Has no Fear, and Ask Roxane- Is it Too Late To Follow My Dreams?
