Hunger : a memoir of (my) body

Gay, Roxane,

Synopsis:

Roxane Gay subconsciously dealt with an unspeakable sexual assault in her youth by eating, rendering herself invisible behind her own flesh.

Written with her characteristic candor, this memoir devastates and unsettles with every turned page.
