I buried the girl I was because she ran into all kinds of trouble. I tried to erase every memory of her, but she is still there, somewhere. . . . I was trapped in my body, one that I barely recognized or understood, but at least I was safe.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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 with body image and mental health 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. In Hunger, she explores her past—including the devastating act of violence and childhood trauma that acted as a turning point in her young life—and brings readers along on her journey to understand and ultimately save herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the bracing candor, vulnerability, and power that have made her one of the most admired writers of her generation, Roxane explores what it means to find self-discovery and learn to take care of yourself: how to feed your hungers for delicious and satisfying food, a smaller and safer body, and a body that can love and be loved—in a time when the bigger you are, the smaller your world becomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a story of triumph. It is the story of a body, a life, and a hunger that demands to be heard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little Brown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62650764132682,"sku":"hunger","price":16.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8894\/4822\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_9ed9182a-0ba3-45f9-a324-0c42e4a26efd.jpg?v=1783527111","url":"https:\/\/littledeercomics.ie\/products\/hunger-a-memoir-of-my-body","provider":"Little Deer Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
