Revered cultural commentator Roxane Gay returns to Melbourne for one night only to share a decade's worth of opinions.
Unapologetic, sometimes controversial, and always unflinchingly honest, Roxane Gay has built a remarkable career using her powerful voice to articulate the nuances of our most pervasive issues. Body image, civil rights, feminism, popular culture, social etiquette – you name it, Gay has written about it.
The esteemed writer, professor and cultural commentator joins host Jan Fran at Melbourne Town Hall for one night only to discuss her most strongly held views on the culture and politics of the past decade, celebrated in her latest book, Opinions: A Decade of Arguments, Criticism, and Minding Other People’s Business.
Don’t miss Roxane Gay as she reflects on the fundamental importance of holding complicated views in our complicated times.
Roxane Gay is presented in Melbourne by The Wheeler Centre and Now or Never. She is presented in Sydney by Festival of Dangerous Ideas.
