On Tuesday, Rumpus Essays Editor Emeritus Roxane Gay launches her second book of the year, Bad Feminist, an essay collection. Kira Cochrane profiles Gay over at the Guardian:
For Gay, writing is a way “to think through what it means to be in this world. I definitely write to reach other people, but I write for myself first. I don’t mean that in an arrogant way. It’s just that this is me trying to make sense of my place, and how did I get here, and why am I so lucky in some ways, and so unlucky in others? So it starts with me, and then I move beyond the self, as much as I can.”
