Hunger : a memoir of (my) body Cover Image Book Book

Hunger : a memoir of (my) body / Roxane Gay.

Gay, Roxane, (author.).

Summary:

Roxane Gay addresses the experience of living in a body that she calls 'wildly undisciplined.' She casts an insightful and critical eye over her childhood, teens, and twenties -- including the devastating act of violence that was a turning point at age 12 -- and brings readers into the present and the realities, pains, and joys of her daily life. With candor, vulnerability, and authority, Roxane explores what it means to be overweight in a time when the bigger you are, the less you are seen.
