kateabane2003 's review for:
Difficult Women
by Roxane Gay
Since this a collection of short stories, instead of writing a traditional review, I'll be leaving some general rankings. You can look up the stories individually online if you are interested. Gay's work is definitely some of the darkest and raunchiest material I've ever read, but in a good way. So in no particular order...
My Top Three Stories:
- "I Will Follow You"
- "La Negra Blanca"
- "Strange Gods"
Runner-ups:
- "The Mark of Cain"
- "North Country"
My Least Favorite Story:
- "Noble Things"
Most Creative in Concept:
- "Water, All Its Weight"
- "The Sacrifice of Darkness"
The One That Makes Me Super Sad:
- "Break All the Way Down"
The Ones That Really Gross Me Out:
- "Baby Arm"
- "I Am a Knife"
I mean, I recommend reading all of these stories but feel free to pick and choose from the ones I listed. There are many more in this collection that I haven't even mentioned.
