Writing Into the Wound

3.5

Of course, since it's Roxane Gay, this is a stunningly and fiercely written essay. Gay writes about the collective trauma of last year briefly but in better words than I've ever heard. The only thing about this is that I wish it was longer, maybe fifty pages more. I thought this was going to go far more in depth about the actual writing process; it wasn't what I expected but I still was moved by what I got.
