Award-winning author and powerhouse talent Roxane Gay burst onto the scene with An Untamed State and the New York Times bestselling essay collection Bad Feminist (Harper Perennial). Gay returns with Difficult Women, a collection of stories of rare force and beauty, of hardscrabble lives, passionate loves, and quirky and vexed human connection.
The women in these stories live lives of privilege and of poverty, are in marriages both loving and haunted by past crimes or emotional blackmail. A pair of sisters, grown now, have been inseparable ever since they were abducted together as children, and must negotiate the elder sister's marriage. A woman married to a twin pretends not to realize when her husband and his brother impersonate each other. A stripper putting herself through college fends off the advances of an overzealous customer. A black engineer moves to Upper Michigan for a job and faces the malign curiosity of her colleagues and the difficulty of leaving her past behind. From a girls’ fight club to a wealthy subdivision in Florida where neighbors conform, compete, and spy on each other, Gay delivers a wry, beautiful, haunting vision of modern America reminiscent of Merritt Tierce, Jamie Quatro, and Miranda July.

Women are difficult like venison is hard to digest, but nothing could prevent either from being hunted. The theme gets old, but homosapiens as a species never learns.
评分Roxane Gay短篇小說集，可視為當代美國人物速寫集。基調是殘忍、殘酷，因此Florida，La Negra Blanca幾篇講階級和種族的殘酷，就特彆犀利精準，相比之下其他一些講情欲和孤獨的殘酷的，就顯得repetitive瞭。

评分生活無法永遠都是蜜糖。很多人不喜歡這本書因為所有的故事都讓人感到壓抑、痛苦、以及絕望。故事中的女人們並不是人們所預期的那樣的strong women，她們都是damaged、broken、以及hopeless。不同於成功勵誌學，這本書讓我們清醒。
