Mike asked Roxane Gay:

Ms. Gay, Reading both Hunger and Bad Feminist this year, I had commutes where I missed my subway stop because I had become so engrossed in your prose. The Times called your writing "luminous" and they were not overselling it in the least. Can you think of the last book you read where you lost all track of the real world around you, and if so, could you share the title with us?
