Nathaniel Maldonado asked Roxane Gay:

Do you think you're a greater author (legacy wise) than JK Rowling?

Roxane Gay Why on earth would I think something like this? We write completely different things and honestly, she created Harry Potter, a book read by... billions of people, probably? I am self-aware enough to know that whatever my impact as a writer, it pales in comparison to what she has accomplished. Though I never got into the Harry Potter books, I admire her greatly as a writer and person.
