The artful, profound, and sometimes funny stories Gay chose for the collection transport readers from a fraught family reunion to an immigration detention center, from a psychiatric hospital to a coed class sleepover in a natural history museum. We meet a rebellious summer camper, a Twitter addict, and an Appalachian preacher--all characters and circumstances that show us what we "need to know about the lives of others."<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>ROXANE GAY, guest editor, is the author of the bestsellers <i>Bad Feminist</i><i>, </i><i>Difficult Women, </i> and <i>Hunger, </i><i>as well as the books</i><i>Ayiti</i> and <i>An Untamed State</i><i>.</i> <p/> HEIDI PITLOR, series editor, is the author of the novels <i>The Birthdays</i> and <i>The Daylight Marriage</i><i>.</i> <p/>
