Edited and with an introduction by Roxane Gay, the New York Times bestselling and deeply beloved author of Bad Feminist and Hunger, this anthology of first-person essays tackles rape, assault, and harassment head-on.
In this valuable and revealing 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 they are "routinely second-guessed, blown off, discredited, denigrated, besmirched, belittled, patronized, mocked, shamed, gaslit, insulted, bullied" for speaking out. Contributions include essays from established and up-and-coming writers, performers, and critics, including actors Ally Sheedy and Gabrielle Union and writers Amy Jo Burns, Lyz Lenz, and Claire Schwartz.
Covering 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, this collection is often deeply personal and is always unflinchingly honest. Like Rebecca Solnit's Men Explain Things to Me, Not That Bad will resonate with every reader, saying "something in totality that we cannot say alone."
Searing and heartbreakingly candid, 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.
Fifty Shades Of Grey: Unseen Edition includes extended version with alternate ending and a tease of Fifty Shades Darker.
Fifty Shades Of Grey follows the relationship of 27-year-old handsome billionaire Christian Grey and innocent college student Anastasia Steele .
Ana is an inexperienced college student tasked with interviewing enigmatic billionaire Christian Grey. But what starts as business quickly becomes an unconventional romance. Swept up in Christian's glamorous lifestyle, Ana soon finds another side to him as she discovers his secrets and explores her own dark desires.
What results is a thrilling, all-consuming romance as Christian and Ana test the limits they will go to for their relationship.
Do the work to dismantle your own prejudices in this guided
workbook from New York Times best-selling author and thinker
Roxane Gay. The system isn’t broken—it was built this
way. But we can make a difference. In this powerful book full of
bold, striking illustrations author and activist Dr. Roxane Gay

different systems of power that surround us every day, from
the micro to the macro, and to understand how these
systemsreproduce biases and prejudice in ourselves. Structured into
an interactive journal with exercises for you to complete, Dr. Gay
shows you how you can make changes to empower yourself and
others to make changes in the world, asking thought-provoking
questions that invite you to mindfully engage with, question,
and unlearn your own biases and beliefs. Thinking points include:
What is power, and who gets to have it? What affects a
person’s power? How do we move through the world? What can
we do about it? And how can we empower others? Step into your own
personal power and plot a transformational path for tomorrow
that’s fair for everyone.

An intimate and electrifying collection of essays from the New York
Times bestselling author of The Book of Delights In these
gorgeously written and timely pieces, prize-winning poet and author
Ross Gay considers the joy we incite when we care for each other,
especially during life's inevitable hardships. Throughout Inciting
Joy, he explores how we can practice recognizing that connection,
and also, crucially, how we expand it. In "We Kin" he thinks about
the garden (especially around August, when the zucchini and
tomatoes come on) as a laboratory of mutual aid; in "Share Your
Bucket" he explores skateboarding's reclamation of public space; he
considers the costs of masculinity in "Grief Suite"; and in
"Through My Tears I Saw," he recognizes what was healed in caring
for his father as he was dying. In an era when divisive voices take
up so much air space, Inciting Joy offers a vital alternative: What
might be possible if we turn our attention to what brings us
together, to what we love? Full of energy, curiosity, and
compassion, Inciting Joy is essential reading from one of our most
brilliant writers.
