There is an incantatory element of repetition to “Hunger”: The very short chapters scallop over the reader like waves.” - Newsday “ Hunger is Gay at her most lacerating and probing. Nothing seems gratuitous a lot seems brave. “Hunger,” like Ta-Nehisi Coates’ “Between the World and Me,” interrogates the fortunes of black bodies in public spaces. An intense, unsparingly honest portrait of childhood crisis and its enduring aftermath.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Searing, smart, readable. We are all better for having you do so in the same ferociously honest fashion that you have written this book.” - Los Angeles Times “A heart-rending debut memoir from the outspoken feminist and essayist. Poignantly told.” - New Republic “Bracingly vivid. Anyone who has a body should read this book.” - Isaac Fitzgerald on the Today show “A work of staggering honesty. Hunger is a deeply personal memoir from one of our finest writers, and tells a story that hasn’t yet been told but needs to be. With the bracing candor, vulnerability, and authority that have made her one of the most admired voices of her generation, Roxane explores what it means to be overweight in a time when the bigger you are, the less you are seen. In Hunger, she casts an insightful and critical eye on her childhood, teens, and twenties-including the devastating act of violence that acted as a turning point in her young life-and brings readers into the present and the realities, pains, and joys of her daily life. As a woman who describes her own body as “wildly undisciplined,” Roxane understands the tension between desire and denial, between self-comfort and self-care. New York Times bestselling author Roxane Gay has written with intimacy and sensitivity about food and bodies, using her own emotional and psychological struggles as a means of exploring our shared anxieties over pleasure, consumption, appearance, and health.
