Following critical acclaim for her bestselling works, including Bad Feminist, Difficult Women and Hunger, Gay is turning the spotlight on powerful new literary talent through her newsletter, The Audacity and the accompanying Audacious Book Club. Gay is committed to amplifying voices and passing the microphone around. Writer, speaker and cultural icon Roxane Gay returns to Australia for an entertaining and enlightening conversation about her extraordinary body of work, her dedication to uplifting emerging voices, and to offer her famously sharp takes on feminism, race and politics.
