Where Does Roxane Gay Live?
She somehow gets it all done while jetting back and forth between her home in Los Angeles, Yale, where she’s a Presidential Fellow, and her many appearances and engagements.
Gay was born in Omaha, Nebraska. Roxane Gay has a powerful voice–and a packed schedule. The acclaimed author, whose works include Bad Feminist and Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body, has a ninth book coming out this spring, a comic book on the way, film and TV projects in development, and a gig as a contributing op-ed writer for The New York Times.
Together, they are building an art collection across their homes in Los Angeles and New York that reflects a shared vision.
