roxane gay on Twitter: "Also why are people treating this story like nonfiction!? It is fiction that speaks to very real things women deal with but it is a story that has been crafted with intent!"

  It’s also a great way to help women get over any lingering interest in straight sex.

  I think, as women, reading our perspective told in a way that feels so true is so incredibly rare that it feels like non fiction. And that says something about the way stories are usually told (through the male gaze).

  There's something sad about this, though — that it implies nonfiction isn't crafted with intent. Nonfiction lives within the boundaries of lived/researched experience, sure, but it is hard crafted into whatever sense it's trying to make (I hope)

  I saw it coming. I do not like coy endings, even if they're relatable.
