Hunger A Memoir of (My) Body is a beautiful book by author Roxane Gay.
A painfully honest memoir about food, weight, self-image, and learning to satisfy hunger while taking care of yourself.

Roxane Gay wrote with closeness and sensitivity about food and the body, using her own psychological and emotional struggles as a means to explore our shared anxieties about pleasure, consumption, appearance and health. As a woman who describes her own body as “extremely undisciplined,” Roxane understands the tension between lust and denial, between comfort and self-care. In Hunger, she explores her past – including the brutal act of violence that served as a turning point in her young life – and takes the listener on a journey of discovery and ultimately self-rescue.
