In "Opinions," Roxane Gay invites readers into a world where thoughts and beliefs hold sway over lives. From the quiet ache of a woman grappling with the fallout of her own outspoken views to the roar of a community divided by the weight of their convictions, these stories lay bare the human cost of speaking up. With her signature blend of insight and empathy, Gay reveals how our most cherished opinions can both unite and isolate us, and the delicate balance we strike between conviction and compromise.
