New York Times Bestseller

Edited and with an introduction by Roxane Gay, the New York Times bestselling and deeply beloved author of Bad Feminist and Hunger, this anthology of first-person essays tackles rape, assault, and harassment head-on.

Vogue, "10 of the Most Anticipated Books of Spring 2018" * Harper's Bazaar, "10 New Books to Add to Your Reading List in 2018" * Elle, "21 Books We're Most Excited to Read in 2018" * Boston Globe, "25 books we can't wait to read in 2018" * Huffington Post, "60 Books We Can't Wait to Read in 2018" * Hello Giggles, "19 Books We Can't Wait to Read in 2018" * Buzzfeed, "33 Most Exciting New Books of 2018"

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 actors Ally Sheedy and Gabrielle Union and writers Amy Jo Burns, Lyz Lenz, Claire Schwartz, and Bob Shacochis. 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."

Searing and heartbreakingly candid, this provocative collection both reflects the world we live in and offers a call to arms insisting that "not that bad" must no longer be good enough.

This was a tough read emotionally - I had to take breaks. But this book is important. Everyone should read it, if they can handle it. ( )

Extremely tough read but necessary. I recommend reading something less intense alongside it. But you should definitely read it. ( )

I did have to stop reading. It was engaging and interesting and well put together, but I was having a hard time living with all that awful truth. ( )
  mslibrarynerd | Jan 13, 2024 |
oh wow these essays are almost all perfect and incredible and so well done. i didn't love every single one of these, but almost. this is just stunning. the way these essays talk about so much that makes up rape culture and the profound ramifications of sexual violence, without really talking too much about the specifics of these people's histories, is much more powerful and much less gross than giving those details would be. what matters is that it happened and how it affected these people, not the details. (the details matter, of course, but they shouldn't to a reader.) these essays are incredible. ( )
  overlycriticalelisa | Jan 10, 2024 |
Articulate women and 2 men describe what rape and sexual aggression and living in society devaluing women as a basic of it's culture and economy does to lives and quality of living. These are the women who do understand what they lived through, what killed off part of them even while they are called survivors, while they are called lucky to be alive, and can wrap words around all the colossal wrong that starts with boys will be boys, which is better in every way than being girls.
Yes, IT IS THAT BAD! ( )
