An Evening With Roxane Gay

One of today’s most influential voices writing about gender, sexuality, race, and the issues confronting women as they navigate a difficult and often hostile world, Roxane Gay tackles today’s big subjects with a piercing intellect, engaging empathy, and often heartbreaking personal disclosures. She talks with Isaac Fitzgerald about #MeToo, #BlackLivesMatter, body size, and feminism.
Hosted by the Cooper Union Office of Continuing Education and Public Programs. Rescheduled for June 8, 2018, as part of the PEN World Voices Festival of International Literature.

I like Roxane even though I don't agree with half of the stuff she says, and I honestly thinks she needs better venues than ones like this. I know whoever this guy was thought he was being cute and fun but I think encouraging people to have their phones out at an authors speaking engagement was rude (as was having his own phone out). Also, the dying laughing at things like "phallet" and the unfunny commentary where he'd cut off Roxane as she was speaking was stupid. You aren't her pal buddy, and people didn't come to listen to you be her hype man.

He got his questions to R. on that phone, he is also her friend and ex colleague, and he actually laughs at funny things.
