Hunger
Roxane Gay writes with intimacy and sensitivity about food and the body, using her own emotional and psychological struggles as a means of exploring common anxieties about pleasure, consumption, appearance, and health. As a woman who describes her own body as “extremely undisciplined,” Roxane understands the tension between desire and denial, between comfort and care.
In Hunger, Roxane explores her past—including the devastating act of violence that constituted a turning point in her life—and takes readers on the journey she herself undertook to understand herself and, ultimately, save herself.
With the frankness, vulnerability, and power that have made her one of the most admired writers of her generation, Roxane explores what it means to learn to take care of ourselves: how to satisfy our hunger for delicious food while maintaining a healthier body, capable of loving and being loved.
