Exciting New Books of 2018 In this valuable and timely anthology,
cultural critic and bestselling author Roxane Gay collects original
and previously published pieces that address what it means to live
in a world where women have to measure the harassment, violence and
aggression they face, and where sexual-abuse survivors are
'routinely second-guessed, blown off, discredited, denigrated,
besmirched, belittled, patronized, mocked, shamed, gaslit,
insulted, bullied' for speaking out. Highlighting the stories of
well-known actors, writers and experts, as well as new voices being
published for the first time, Not That Bad covers a wide range of
topics and experiences, from an exploration of the rape epidemic
embedded in the refugee crisis to first-person accounts of child
molestation and street harrassment. Often deeply personal and
always unflinchingly honest, this provocative collection both
reflects the world we live in and offers a call to arms insisting
that 'not that bad' must no longer be good enough.
