I am pages from finishing this book, it is really a beautifully written book. Some of the most tragic imagery is so beautifully written that I was in awe of the sentence but in pain because of what it describes. He's such a clear writer. I also really love the Author's Note and the beginning of the book, let you know how this book came to be.
I think Colson Whitehead mentioned to @rgay that she likely read the ARC and that the whole cement/concrete thing was fixed in the published copy. But I will check this out when I read the book.
I finished reading the book tonight and I don't have anyone to talk with about it, so here I am enjoying this wonderful chat! I'm realizing that in this novel characters are kind of functional to the story. Denise, who is she? I had to look up the book to remember the first woman he was with in New York was not his wife! 😅
@@LionMartell Lol this video had been unlisted for 3 days. Vice News sent out a link if people wanted to watch the full conversation 3 days early. Guess I was the only one that wanted to hear more 🤷♀️
I happen to have some detailed first-hand knowledge on this subject. That book the nickel boys from the nickel Academy is so twisted and convoluted and distorted it's almost impossible to get any idea of the facts from it as they actually happened. That boy who was hitchhiking and picked up by somebody in a stolen car was not on his way to college by any math remains and never did go to college. He was an escapee when he was picked up by that person with a stolen car he was a runaway. The boys in that school committed serious offenses against their inmates such as sexual molestation, attacks, beatings, they stole their food and clothes and shoes, and one boy was beat up so bad his teeth were knocked out all over the floor and he spent weeks and weeks in the hospital at the expense of the State of Florida and many other things happened. They got beat with leather straps as counter influence is against their constant criminal recidivist violent Behavior. That novel is a crock of s*** which really doesn't matter in America. I found that out a long time ago the truth is irrelevant.
Your attempt at being edgy only serves to show your critical ignorance of the segments that come under the umbrella of news programs. Please don't breed, but if you seek such an endeavor, try it with a less intelligent species. This one has no use for your vacuity.
The greatest meme of millennial and gen-x’rs. It’s getting old, it’s everywhere. It’s taking over our politics, media, and hell, even capitalism. You can purchase a investment vehicle called an “exchange traded fund” weighted on the social responsibility of corporate governance. Not the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard, but it’s a testament to how stupid people are.
Christian Rosselli haha yeah, the ESG is basically identical to the SPY, except the fee is significantly higher. People actually buy this nonsense, lol.
Watch the spoiler free version of The Book Club right here, right now - ua-cam.com/video/rKOyDrLYsQA/v-deo.html
Im pretty shure felix was the one who had the "original" idea of talking about books on youtube for 40 -50 mins , pewds ftw
lol I thought the title was Roxane's Gay Book Club not Roxane Gay's Book Club.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the discussion. More episodes of Book Club please!!
22 reviews on Bookmarks; 20 rave, 1 positive, 1 mixed.
Clearly not a piece of crap book.
Really needed Millman to stop interrupting everyone good lord
Wow! A thoughtful, lengthy, and nuanced discussion between some smart people...with 50% downvotes. Great work UA-cam 👍
I had that same reaction when I realized that cover played into the book!

This book is AMAZING ! It is so gut wrenching and vivid. I am still reeling from this read.

A new virtual book club loveagoodstory.com was just created to offer a community for expression after reading. You may be interested. . .
I just finished reading this book and MY GOD Colson is gifted. What a gut-wrenching read...
I don’t see what they’re trying to get at with this thing with the women in the book
When will the next episode be aired!? I could never find this on HBO unless it's an online thing only. trying to patiently await the next episode!
The Lost Children Archives by Valeria Luiselli is a book based on the lost children at the border.
This is a great 50 minutes a video but I think the beginning of the title should say in all caps spoiler alert that being said I really enjoyed this
I want aunts like this.
How did y'all not see the shadows merged as one on the cover?? 🤣🤣
45:38 hands down, I think Elwood would've become a journalist, with a focus on civil rights & politics.
I think that I'm going to check out this book!
Star Cherry how’s your comment posted two days ago when the video came out 1 hour ago. Fake comment fake news.

Does anyone have any recommendations for book club channels that go into in-depth book review conversations like this? :)
Why does the white lady keep interrupting Roxane? 🤨
Roxane Gay and that white lady, Debbie Millman, are actually married. Or back in 2019 dating.
Great Discussion - But Be Warned: FULL OF SPOILERS!
48:35 the answer to that question: you get a badge #georgefloyd
This is great. That green book was just white savior nonsense, again.
Only Colson I know is Colson Baker.
Loll the people in the comments who are angry because Roxane's surname is Gay hahaha fk me
First of all yes. Secondly Octavia E. Butler. That is all.
_*Thank you✨💫💯_*y
I'll give you a piece of advice. Take all this nickel Academy BS with a grain of salt.
Gay
DONT POST ANOTHER ONE OF THESE STUPID BOOK CLUBS. VICE HAS GONE DOWN THE DRAIN!
شغله محيرتني البنات هم يسبن ويفشرن بيناتهن

Name me one news network that doesn't have a general commentary panel.
Up next: straight white male book club.
They changed the title of this video since my comment 😂
Gay's her last name, you idiot.
I bet most sjws would cry injustice if that happened
The authors name is Roxanne Gay brainless prick.
This blundering nincompoop.
Yawn. I see you’re on the bandwagon Vice.
What bandwagon? Why is it a "yawn"? Genuinely interested in a reply
