I will say that this book does deserve a little bit of a trigger warning. She talks very openly and honestly about the way she views food, the way that she handles food or has handled food in the past. So in this book Roxane gay talks about her own personal just journey with her image, her body, her weight. The subtitle to this is a memoir of my body. Like I said, it’s a memoir slash essay collection. I think that she is just very smart and has a great insight and just is really great at observing the world, observing how people react to her and she’s also just really open and honest.īut I should probably give you a little bit of a synopsis first before I get into completely raving about this book. I haven’t read difficult women yet but this just like solidifies in my mind that I just love Roxane gay specifically as a non-fiction writer. I’ve read almost everything that she’s put out. This is a memoir slash essay collection from Roxane gay.
This is a book I picked up for nonfiction November and oh man am I glad that I did because it was great.
Let me try to hold this so it doesn’t glare all over the screen. Today i’m going to be doing a book review on hunger by Roxane gay. Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body Kindle Edition BY Roxane Gay
