It is an credibly powerful memoir that is ma even more so by the raw, uncensored tth Gay brgs to . Gay is not happy wh her body, but also angry at the world for beg a place that mak her unhappy wh her body. ) I wonr if Roxane Gay was ed ready to wre this book -- she am as a difficult experience to wre and fish and publish and there is equivotn on every page, sometim every sentence, and nothg like the stronger, more direct prose and voice of her says/op-eds on femism and society.
Roxane Gay's voice was born and champned via the Inter, which means that a lot of "Hunger" bears the stream-of-nscns rmaly of blog entri. For example, I wish wrers like Gay, who surely knows what real hate is, wouldn't e the word "hate" so much for banal occurrenc everyday life that we simply don't like or don't prefer: food, habs, celebri, mor nvenienc, awkward moments. I found Gay g the word "hate" this way more than a dozen tim "Hunger, " and maybe many more (I should have unted them).
