Hunger by Roxane GayMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Roxane Gay shares her honest account of a violent sexual attack and her resulting lifelong struggle with weight as a way to deal with the emotions of her attack. The writing is raw and authentic, but at times the writing feels repetitive and lacks structure. Gay's experiences an a morbidly obese person in our culture are frustrating and at times overwhelming. This book brings a new level of empathy for the struggles of the morbidly obese.
