Roxane Gay in Conversation with Britt Julious: Difficult Women
7:00pm
Award-winning author Roxane Gay will discuss her new story collection, Difficult Women, with local writer Britt Julious. The conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A and a book-signing. Roxane Gay burst onto the scene with An Untamed State and the New York Times best-selling essay collection Bad Feminist. In Difficult Women, Gay offers stories of rare force and beauty, of hardscrabble lives, passionate loves, and quirky and vexed human connection. Gay delivers a wry, beautiful, haunting vision of modern America.
Roxane Gay is the author of the novel An Untamed State, which was a finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize for Fiction; the essay collection Bad Feminist; and Ayiti, a multi-genre collection. She is at work on a memoir, Hunger, and a comic book in Marvel's Black Panther series. She is a recipient of the PEN Center USA Freedom to Write Award, among other honors. She splits her time between Indiana and Los Angeles.
Britt Julious is a journalist, essayist and storyteller. She is a columnist for the Chicago Tribune and weekend editor at THUMP. She frequently contributes to Esquire, Vice, and Pitchfork, among others. She also hosts the Back Talk, a storytelling podcast featuring young women of color. She lives in Chicago.
