Readers' Most Anticipated Books for Fall 2025
Alicia Hatton
Alicia Hatton asked Roxane Gay:

Which do you most prefer: writing fiction or writing non-fiction? Also, do you think that one or the other has played a more significant role in teaching you about yourself or your world?

Roxane Gay I enjoy writing fiction most because I get to lose myself in the worlds I create. Nonfiction has played a significant role in teaching me about myself and the world because it has helped me find my voice and figure out how best to use it. Nonfiction has also opened my eyes to so much of what we need to do to make the world a better place.
