This month: Late Night Conversation with Roxane Gay

In addition to Late Night Library’s flagship podcast about debut literature, each month we record an unscripted conversation with someone who is changing the way we think about books.

Roxane Gay is definitely one of those people. From her regular contributions to The Rumpus and HTMLGIANT to the entries on her own blog, titled I Have Become Accustomed to Rejection, Gay is a conversation starter. She spoke to Late Night Library friend and supporter Karen Munro for this month’s edition of Late Night Conversation. 

Roxane Gay
Roxane Gay has fiction forthcoming in Best American Short Stories 2012. She lives and writes in the Midwest.

Listen in on May 15th to hear Karen and Roxane discuss favorite places to find new writing, plus publicity challenges faced by debut authors in promoting their books. Late Night Library is also pleased to feature Daniel Orozco’s short story collection Orientation, as considered by guest co-hosts J. T. Bushnell and Jordan Hartt, in our May 30th  podcast. We hope you’ll tune in to both!

Yours,
Erin and Paul
