| book description |
New York Times Bestseller ""This is a devastating book, heartbreaking in how familiar and relatable each story is--yet there's power and solidarity in it, too.""--Shondaland Edited and with an introduction by Roxane Gay, the New York Times bestselling and deeply beloved author of Bad Feminist and Hunger, an anthology of powerful first-person essays from writers including Gabrielle Union, Brandon Taylor, and Lyz Lenz fearlessly that unapologetically tackles sensitive topics of rape, assault, and harassment--now available as a special Harper Perennial Olive Edition. 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 actor Ally Sheedy and writers Amy Jo Burns, Booker Prize-nominated Brandon Taylor, and Lyz Lenz. 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."" Harper Perennial Olive Editions are exclusive small-format editions of some of our bestselling and celebrated titles, and feature unique hand-drawn cover illustrations. All Olive Editions are available for a limited time only.
