Roxane Gay: 'Women need to be encouraged to recognise that their anger is not a liability'

Roxane Gay takes part in an online discussion this week at International Literature Festival, Dublin. 

Roxane Gay, she has just returned from a work trip to Iceland, with the Land of Fire and Ice offering some welcome respite — after quarantine, of course — from the political, cultural, ecological and epidemiological turmoil in her home country.

“It was amazing to get out of the United States,” she says. “We had a wonderful time, Iceland is a stunning country.”
