When Roxane Gay, author of Bad Feminist and Difficult Women, came to Vanderbilt’s Blair School of Music to talk about her latest book, Hunger, it created something that doesn’t happen often in Nashville — a comfortable space for rad women of all shapes, colors and sizes to commune. Gay, who spent the hourlong talk with Ann Patchett chatting about everything from supporting the idea of “a year of male silence” to talking about her love of Ina Garten and the inclusiveness of HGTV, turned the auditorium into feminist church.
