“There is no pleasure to be had in writing about trauma. It requires opening a wound, looking into the bloody gape of it, and cleaning it out, one word at a time. Only then might it be possible for that wound to heal.” (39)

I will literally read anything and everything that Roxane Gay writes, her writing is always so beautifully intelligent and her way of intertwining storytelling with social commentary is honestly masterful
