stainedsouth 's review for:
Hunger
by Roxane Gay
I was unfamiliar with Roxane Gay and her work prior to reading this book, so I did not know about the trauma she underwent at 12 years of age. Her willingness to share what happened to her is brave and heart-breaking, two things that I believe she would not want to hear, but there it is.
Having just finished another book about rape and sexual assault, I am not sure I would have jumped right into this one, but I did. To be fair, Hunger
Those was not really a narrative book; it was more of a collection of essays. I found some essays horrifying, some sad and others extremely repetitive. I hope that Ms. Gay continues to find peace on her journey of acceptance.
