In today's flashback, an outtake from Episode 448, my conversation with Roxane Gay from January 2017.

Roxane Gay is the bestselling author of the books Bad Feminist, Hunger, An Untamed State, Difficult Women, and Ayiti. She is a contributing opinion writer for the New York Times. She wrote The World of Wakanda, the Marvel Comics Series. She has a Substack called The Audacity, which has its own very popular book club. And this month, her publishing imprint, Roxane Gay Books, which she launched in association with Grove Atlantic, is celebrating the publication of its inaugural title, a debut novel called And Then He Sang a Lullaby, by Nigerian writer Ani Kayode Somtochukwu.

I spoke with Roxane Gay as Difficult Women was being published and her memoir, Hunger, was imminent.

Air date: January 11, 2017.
