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. In \u003ci\u003eHunger,\u003c\/i\u003e she casts an insightful and critical eye on her childhood, teens, and twenties-including the devastating act of violence that acted as a turning point in her young life-and brings readers into the present and the\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have reviewed many interesting books for the \u003ci\u003eTLS\u003c\/i\u003e this year, but the most moving is Roxane Gay's \u003ci\u003eHunger . . . \u003c\/i\u003e Her survivor's story is both understated and inspiring. * TLS, Books of the Year *\u003cbr\u003eI'm very thankful for Roxane Gay's \u003ci\u003eHunger\u003c\/i\u003e, which should be and should have been on \u003cb\u003eevery award list\u003c\/b\u003e if people were really reading.
