Difficult Women is her first short story collection. Gay has previously published a novel, An Untamed State, which is headed to theaters soon, and a book of essays, Bad Feminist. Now, Gay says her memoir will hit store shelves after Difficult Women, which will be published in early 2017 by Grove Press. Hunger was originally scheduled for a Jrelease. Gay also noted that her highly anticipated memoir, Hunger, would be delayed until later next year. In a series of Friday tweets, Bad Feminist author Roxane Gay announced Difficult Women, a short story collection, which will be her next book.
