'Hunger: A Memoir of My Body' is proof that there is power in vulnerability

  • “Hunger: A Memoir of My Body” by Roxane Gay, is a powerful look at identity, trauma, and what it means to claim your body as your own. In the award-winning memoir, Gay explores her past, including a horrific trauma, to understand her future and finally accept herself and her body. “Hunger” grapples with more than that, though - it is a look at societal demands of appearance, family dynamics, self-acceptance, and the fraught landscape of women’s pleasure and consumption. There are so few works that so radically and persuasively demand empathy, change, and self-reflection.

    I love her giving both equal justification to the terms ‘victim’ and ‘survivor’. The self-help world too often tells folks that they have to move beyond the victim role thereby only repeatedly shaming them and the immense pain connected to victimhood.
    And thank you Ali for this sensitively reflected series. You’re a man with both a beautifully educated heart and mind.

He would charge 100 carrots for an hour of playtime with the baby bunnies. One day, a famous rabbit who called himself John Doe 36 was sad because his favorite Island was shut down. He checked out PDiddler's bunny ranch but none of the baby bunnies were young enough for him....If I can find a publisher, I wonder if Velshi would help me sell my book
