For example, Gay occasionally writes in short blunt sentences, which I find works well to convey her frustration.

I read Roxane Gay’s Hunger last year, which led me to Bad Feminist, which will soon lead me to one of her novels. You’re-verbose-and-I-like-it review: I think the best compliment I could give an author is to say that reading their book makes me want to seek out more of their work. Roxane Gay is insightful, funny, and brutally honest. TL DR spoiler-free review: a collection of essays analyzing (pop) culture and what it means to be a feminist.
