Hollars, Roxane Gay!, Marcia Aldrich, Ryan Van Meter, Bonnie J. Roxane Gay — btsellg thor, cric and femist in — is preparg for her first ever UK tour.

Dpe beg scribed as shy, Gay is warm and humoro. Although the UK tour is extensive — Gay is set to speak London (where she’ll give one of the headlg terviews at the Southbank’s Women of the World ftival), Edburgh, Liverpool, Bath and Exeter — is not pegged to a sgle book release.

ROXANE GAY: ‘NO ONE IS GUARANTEED LOVE OR AFFECTN’

But ’s Gay’s abily to be at once emotnal and rtraed, to cricise but not preach, and to speak wh empathy and re, which really phed her as a femist thker.

Nearly a later, wh ntradictn wr across the book, do Gay feel any rervatns about still beg her most fg work? It is on the grounds of bodily tonomy which Gay believ femists mt stake their fights for the future: “There are lots of different ways to be a femist but I thk we need to agree on fundamental issu, and reproductive eedom is one of those fundamental issu. ” When a woman says she’s pro-life and a femist I’m like no, you’re pro-lifeGay also unts the eedom and liberatn of trans people as separable om the femist projects of reproductive jtice and bodily tonomy.
