Hunger
by Roxane Gay
I’m super late to the party so I’m not really sure what I can say about this book that hasn’t been said already. I started this one begrudgingly: read a few pages of “Bad Feminist” and bailed, so my hopes weren’t too high for this.
This book was incredible, just powerful. Roxane Gay claimed that this was a book that she didn’t want to write but felt she had to and I completely understand why. The levels of self-awareness and vulnerability contained in these pages are astonishing. She opens herself up in a way that quite frankly I don’t know if I could. Sharing the experience that changed her life, marking the before and after, and the various ways it shaped her into the person that she is.
It will definitely change the way that I interact with people who are fat or obese. I would like to believe that I treat everyone the same regardless of color, gender, or size but I’m sure we all think that.
I applaud Gay’s candor and will be forever grateful for the glimpse into her world.
