ISBN:  9780062569714 (pbk.) 9780062362599 (hc.) Edition:  First edition. Description:  306 pages Notes:  "Author of the New York Times bestseller Bad Feminist"--Cover. Summary:  "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. 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. 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. With bracing 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. A deeply personal memoir from one of our finest writers, which tells a story that hasn't yet been told but needs to be. Roxane Gay was born in Omaha, Nebraska, to a family of Haitian descent. She is the author of the essay collection Bad Feminist (2014), the short story collection Ayiti (2011), the novel An Untamed State (2014), and the short story collection Difficult Women (2017). She teaches writing at Eastern Illinois University. Genre:  Memoirs.
