In her phenomenally popular essays and long-running Tumblr blog, Roxane Gay has written with intimacy and sensitivity about food and body, using her own emotional and psychological struggles as a means of exploring our shared anxieties over pleasure, consumption, appearance, and health. As a woman who describes her own body as "wildly undisciplined", Roxane understands the tension between desire and denial, between self-comfort and self-care.

Life Changing
Reviewed: 01-16-24
Hunger is one of the most formative books that I’ve ever encountered. As a heterosexual African American man, Gay’s work has borne in me a deep empathy. The wisdom in her words will forever shape how I move in the world around my wife, sister, daughter, mother, aunts and a company of strangers. For this, I give thanks.

Elizabeth Alexander’s text is brief in page count, but the carefully chosen words and curated images will live with you for a lifetime. Easily one of the best books I’ve read in a decade.
